― Audrey Hepburn
On a business
recent trip, I overhead or observed various instances of kindness:
§
In
line at the security checkpoint, two women were talking. One shared with the other that her daughter
had had a kidney transplant nearly a year ago.
When the other woman asked how the daughter was doing, the first woman
said that she was doing very well and then told her that the donor had been the
daughter-in-law.
§
As
passengers were boarding one of my flights, the flight attendant told a woman boarding
the plane that she looked familiar. The
woman said that she was a flight attendant, too. When the working flight attendant asked her
if she wanted something to drink, the passenger flight attendant said that she
would wait until they began the regular service.
§
Walking
through the airport terminal, I saw one of the airport employees run ahead to
hold a door for an employee who was pushing a wheel chair.
And when I
finally stepped off the plane feeling very happy to be back home, the
television monitors were flashing a story about kindness.
