Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Lessons Learned From The One In My Care


--by melnotes, posted Apr 4, 2017
Gifted a bunch of peace doves to one of the most beautiful souls I have come across in my work. In the few days I cared for this person they taught me so much about the gift of love, gratitude and kindness. I admire not only their strength but courage and sense of peace amongst all the turmoil. I may not be able to walk in their shoes and feel what their feeling but I can walk alongside them and share my compassion and empathy along with a smile and being me.

Grateful, humbled and blessed for all the ups and downs, swings and round abouts, for each and every experience teaches me something different.
