Squeezing in a Pretty Big Kindness

"To give somebody your time is the biggest gift you can give."
~ Franka Potente

I recently ran into a friend of mine who was trying to make it to the bank before it closed.  A working mother of four, she helps a relative of her husband with the payment of bills.  This kindness entails going to the bank every week and withdrawing money for various payments, and then going to visit the  elderly relative, and leaving money to purchase groceries and pay caretakers.  I have always thought of this friend as incredibly generous, thoughtful and kind, so I am not surprised, but I am still in awe of all that she manages and the kindnesses that she still finds a way to do.
