Kindness and Homework

“The strong bond of friendship is not always a balanced equation; friendship is not always about giving and taking in equal shares.  Instead, friendship is grounded in a feeling that you know exactly who will be there for you when you need something, no matter what or when.”
~ Simon Sinek

I recently had to ask one of my dearest mom friends if she could not only take my children to an after-school activity, but also keep one of my children for the evening as it was Back to School Night at one of the schools.  I felt badly – two asks – but she agreed the way she always does as if it’s no big deal.  I told my friend that my son, who would be at her house, would do his homework or study, which I knew he could do on his own and quietly.  When I got home, my son told me that my friend offered to help him study and that she ended up quizzing him on the words he was studying for Spanish.  Not once, but twice.
