Ever-Present Kindness

"Do something wonderful, people may imitate it."
~ Albert Schweitzer

I have a very special friend who is one of the most thoughtful and kind people I know.  Last Christmas, we went to her house on Christmas Day and our two families exchanged gifts.  This year, they went out of town for Christmas, so I figured we would exchange gifts when they returned.  But my friend, ever several steps ahead, gave me a beautiful plant and a gift bag full of Christmas treats before she left.  When we opened the bag on Christmas morning, we found books and favorite holiday goodies.  During her vacation, my friend has texted me most days.  She asks me what I am doing, says that she hopes that I am relaxing and sends me photos.  Although she is thousands of miles away, my friend's kindness is ever-present.
