The Kindness of a Drive

"Money is but one venue for generosity.  Kindness is an even more valuable currency."
~ Alan Cohen

The other day, it was a mom friend's birthday.  Her husband was out of the country and so another mom and I wanted to take her to dinner to celebrate.  The birthday mom had to attend a daughter's swim meet in another city and so dinner would have to be late.  While the birthday mom and I live about a block away from each other, the other mother lives at quite a distance.  However, the other mom drove to our neighborhood, so that the birthday mom did not have to travel far.  The other mom even picked up the birthday mom and me, so that neither one of us had to drive.  Given that it was a school and work night, her driving was quite a gift.
