I am saddened by the public displays that are not kind happening in our lives recently, hope that people will speak up as you have, and offer kindness instead. There is a quote I value that I'll share with you: "“What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?” ~ George Eliot Thanks for your words today, sharing your friend's life with us.<br />Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2232396492371281821.post-28916847143273106962016-03-07T10:50:11.971-05:002016-03-07T10:50:11.971-05:00Your friend left an important mark on you, and you...Your friend left an important mark on you, and you are passing along this kindness which he embodied.

When I first met him at a seminar I was drawn to his kind face and the more I got to know him the more I realized that he was living kindness every day. I was sad when I learned of his illness and met him and his sister one day in a diner to chat about life. That was the last time I would see him and the memory of that day lives within me. I do remember even then him talking about leaving this world and how he was not afraid. I told him he reminded me of my dad even though he was younger than me. His eyes showed his kindness and I will always remember how he made me feel safe when he was around.

Many years ago, we worked together and were preparing to hire teachers and were talking about what we thought the most important quality in a teacher was. I said I wanted them to be smart. She said she wanted them kind. That lesson has stuck with me ever since.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294455230627182656noreply@blogger.com
