The Kindness of Remembering Details

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

Several months ago, I told a lovely friend of mine that one of my favorite foods is chocolate chip cookies.  It has been that way since I was a child when Friday nights frequently included sleepovers with my good friends at my grandmother's house and baking chocolate chip cookies. 

When my birthday rolled around last year, my lovely friend showed up with a freshly baked plate of chocolate chip cookies.  A couple of days ago -- in the middle of a rough week -- my friend called to say that she had something for me.  And last night she gave me a treat I never knew existed -- a jar of chocolate chip cookie dough that is designed to be eaten not baked.  How great is that?!  It is delicious, but much more important is that it is one more expression of my lovely friend's kindness.
