Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Caring for those around you


--by guin, posted Feb 12, 2007

The 55 year old lady Mrs.L ,who has been cleaning our house every day for tha past 20 years had recently been diagnosed with diabetes.Since Mrs.L is the only earning member of her family, she is finding it difficult to cope. My family has decided to buy her the diabetes medicines which are quite expensive.

The day Mrs.L was admitted in the hospital for symptoms like fainting, my mom guessed that she may be diabetic. My mom usually gives Mrs.L lunch and coffee every day, which she leaves for her before heading to work.

The day Mrs.L recovered fully and came back to work, my mom automatically made her a cup of coffee without adding the usual spoonfull of sugar .Mrs.L hadn't even had a chance to mention her diabetes to my mom since she came to work only after my mom had left. She was really touched when she tasted the unsweetened coffee-moved by the attention paid to small things and the concern we felt for her.
