Kindness and a Ride Home

"We are all here on earth to help others; what on earth the others are her for I don't know."
~ W. H. Auden

On a recent afternoon, a mother I know was involved in an event that ran longer than she anticipated, which meant that she would be late to pick up her son at school.  She called her husband, but he was unavailable.  Another mother at the event told the mother that her babysitter could pick up the child.  Calls were made to the school, a map with directions to the house was texted to the babysitter and the mother breathed a sigh of relief.
