The Kindness of a Ride

"The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention."
―Khalil Gibran

I am not sure what makes these first couple of weeks of school so crazy, but all the parents with whom I speak seem to feel it.  In the midst of the madness, I forgot that there was a Back to School night at one of my children's schools.  After a long day and not a lot of sleep the night before, the thought of driving to the school and back was less than thrilling.  And then kindness appeared on my cell phone screen.  A very dear friend who had been away all summer texted to ask if I wanted to ride with her.  It may not have been a big deal to her, but to this exhausted mom, her kindness was heaven sent!
