On Tuesday I was mowing my front lawn when a woman with infant twins came by in a stroller. She hurried past me so as to not interrupt my row, a nicety that was unnecessary. Then my daughter stopped by with her baby in a stroller, so I stopped mowing for a while.
When they left I returned to my mowing, and only then saw a baby bottle in the unmown part of the lawn. It was most assuredly not the type my daughter uses, so I figured it had to be from the woman with the twins. But I had no idea who she was to return it. So I set the bottle up on my steps so that it could be easily seen by someone walking or even driving by.
When I went to walk Jack that evening I noticed that the bottle was gone. Good, I thought, she came back and got it.
A few minutes ago I was sitting here in front of the computer when my doorbell rang. I was amazed when I answered it and there was the woman with the twins, holding a bouquet of iris. For me! As a thank you for ‘saving’ the baby bottle!
How incredibly nice, and how unnecessary. I will have to remember this kindness, and offer a simple unexpected thank you to someone.
Kindness. It’s what we can all offer, in our own fashion.
Priceless! And beautiful flowers BTW.
What a good day that made!!
Thanks for sharing!
In these times of so much hatred, ugliness and intolerance isn’t it wonderful when there is such kindness…….on your part, and on the mother of the twins………
