A Kindness Opportunity For An Elderly Couple

Today when paying for mine and my family's dinners, I noticed an elderly couple. For some reason I was drawn to them and I noticed they only had bowls of soup. Something inside said to pay for their dinner.
 
I was paying for their meal when the elderly gent came up to the counter. I hadn't meant for him to see me, but he did. He stood there, shocked, and I just shook his hand and said have a good evening and pass it on. I felt it might have been hard for him,financially. I had forgotten my smile cards, but he smiled and waved when they left and I felt warm inside.

They Are The Smile Within My Heart

I am a caregiver of my mom, who lives with me. Also, stepdad is in a convalescent home and I go every day to see him. I take care of his clothes and all needs. Recently my husband had a knee replacement. I am also his caregiver. My mother in law is in Intensive Care Unit, and I don't know if she's going to make it. She's 96.  I feel my hands are quite full.

But when I go to the nursing home, I sit and color with the residents. We talk and laugh. We play bingo, and sometimes I buy puzzles for them to do. It's just the company I receive from them. When my life is stressed and not always appreciated, these ladies with just those quiet joyful moments bring me happiness and strength to carry on. I tell them they are the smile within my heart.
