A Simple Birthday Kindness

"A gift consists not in what is done or given, but in the intention of the giver or doer."
~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Recently, it was the birthday of an older gentleman in our community -- he was turning 86.  A female friend of his who lives nearby was too sick to get out of bed, but she wanted to make sure that he received something special on his birthday, so she asked her daughter to get him balloons and a card, and leave them on his doorstep.  The gentleman called his friend to say that she had made his day.
