The Kindness of a Call from School

"The end result of kindness is that it draws people to you."
~ Anita Roddick

Whenever I see the name of one of my children's schools on my phone as an incoming call, my heart skips a beat.  Thankfully, the calls have nearly always been non-emergency.  The other day, I received an especially nice call from the administrative person at one of the schools.  One of my children had been absent for two days in a row and this person was calling to see how my daughter was doing.
