Kindness and Birthday Cake

"Cakes are special.  Every birthday, every celebration ends with something sweet, a cake, and people remember.  It's all about the memories."
 - Buddy Valastro

On a recent trip overseas, we were led on our tour by a wonderful guide.  One of the women traveling with us was celebrating a birthday.  When the guide arrived to pick us up on the morning of her birthday, he had a beautiful round pink box that resembled an elegant hat box.  It was a cake for the birthday girl!  We remarked to the guide how thoughtful he was.  "We're friends," he said.  And it occurred to me that despite language and cultural differences, we are connected by a shared understanding of what matters.
