There’s a lot of small kindnesses that we all recieve in our lives, especially as kids, perhaps. But I want to hear of those that you remember.

I was inspired to write this post by something that happened a few years ago. My old cat had stopped eating (for the second time) and he was clearly not well. He was about 17 years old and I took tim to the animal hospital.

The vetrinarian, a woman about my age (28 or so) told me that an examination and potential treatment wasn’t going to be the right thing to to. She stayed with me for a long while as they were preparing to put him to sleep. I started crying and she stayed with me and told me how cats will have to face the end one way or another, and that I was doing the right thing. She comforted me through the whole thing. I don’t even remember her name, but she was one of the kindest people I’d ever met.

Please share how people have been kind to you
