Kindness and a Cousin

“A warm smile is the universal language of kindness.”

~ William Arthur Ward

My son started at a new school this year.  His cousin, two years older, is there, too, and has taken quite an interest in looking after his younger cousin.  My son frequently will come home and share a story about how his cousin helped him out.  The latest one involved the racks for backpacks outside the cafeteria.  When my son arrived for lunch, he did not see an open space in which to stow his backpack, so his ever-vigilant cousin moved his own and made space for my son.
