Remembering Kindness... Again

"I always say that kindness is the greatest beauty that you can have."
~ Andie MacDowell

Very early today, I found myself driving in the dark to take one of my children to a school activity.  I left my house just after 4 am.  The streets were predictably, but nonetheless eerily, empty.  And I remembered the last time that I had been out at that hour of the morning, driving along the same road...  Only I hadn't been driving.  It was almost 13 years ago and I had a very special pick up at the airport, which I was going to drive to alone.  But then one of my dearest friends and truly one of the most gallant men I have ever known called to say that he would drive me.  It is a kindness that I remember frequently and that is permanently etched in my heart.
