Kindness and a 100th Birthday Celebration

"Love and kindness are never wasted.  They always make a difference.  They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver."
~ Barbara de Angelis

A woman turning 100 years old last week received a surprise on her special day in Norfolk, Virginia.  Members of Norfolk Fire-Rescue showed up at her house to deliver flowers and wish her well.  The woman's late husband had worked for the Fire Department for more than 30 years; her nephew and his father also worked for the city.  Given how this woman had shared her family with the city, the firefighters decided they wanted to be a part of her milestone celebration.  The photos of her smile -- as well as the smiles on the firefighters -- are priceless.
