It was driven home, to both my husband & myself, that we really never know how our small acts of kindness may impact someone.
We were at a Wake yesterday, for an acquaintance we knew from our local park. My husband used to walk around the park with him & they would talk on the phone once in a while. When we went up to his wife to share our condolences & introduced ourselves to her as her husband's park friends, what she said to my husband amazed us.
She said her husband always spoke ab
out Harvey (my hubby) with great fondness & had a picture with an inspiring quote on it that Harv had given him on their fridge & wouldn't let anyone remove it. And that he was always sharing things Harv had said with them. We were blown away, as we had no clue about any of this. I almost cried & I could see Harv was visibly moved too.
So, never doubt the power of your "small" acts of kindness, because they can have a HUGE effect on people.

Both of you did a great job. Thanks for sharing.
