Random Acts of Kindness
Nora called me at work yesterday to relay a story about Anna.
After dropping Anna off at school yesterday, Nora had to double back to the house to get something and return. When she got back, Miss Blackford, Anna's teacher, pulled her aside and told her about Anna's actions that morning.
There is a new girl in Anna's class, Avory. After Avory was dropped off, she started to cry. Anna took it upon herself to go over to Avory, put her arm across her shoulders, and ask what was the matter. She consoled the girl, then walked her over to the gerbil cage and introduced her to the class pets. Apparently it worked like a charm and Avory was fine for the rest of the day.
Proud just doesn't seem like a big enough word to describe how Nora and I feel.
