The Kindness of Sharing News

"When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands."
~ Maria Shriver

In the past couple of days, I have received emails or texts from friends to share news about other friends.  In one case, the news was about the death of the grandmother of a mutual friend.  In another, the news was about the university acceptance of a friend's daughter -- especially meaningful because the acceptance is to her father's alma mater as well as mine.  My friend's sharing the news with me enabled me to reach out to the people involved.  Thanks to the kindness of my friends, I am able to be a better friend.
