The Kindness of a Little Help

“We are all here on earth to help others; what on earth the others are here for I don’t know.”
~ W.H. Auden

We recently were at a family dinner at a restaurant and I was touched by how much a teenage friend of my children helped during the evening.  She took many photos for me and when one of my children needed to go to the restroom, this friend insisted on accompanying her.  This friend also entertained us on the drive home with several songs that she played on her phone for us to sing along to.  When I look back on the evening, this teenager’s kindness really stands out.
