Taxes, A Plant, A Hug
Yesterday, while I was having my taxes done, my tax preparer told me her father had passed away two days ago. She went on to tell me that she would not be able to attend his funeral, as he was in another country and, with this being tax season, she could not leave. My heart went out to her. "Is there anything I can do?" I asked. "No, but just you asking made me feel better," she replied, tears welling up in her eyes. I told her to call me if she wanted someone to share stories with about her father. After my taxes were done, I immediately went out and bought her a lovely yellow tulip potted plant. I enclosed a card that read, "Thank you, You make my world a better place." Then, I added a note to express how I deeply understood how losing her father felt.
With my heart soaring, I gave her the plant. And she gave me the most wonderful hug.
