We’re friends with an older couple that we like very much. He recently spent 19 days in the hospital out of town dealing with a serious health issue. They made it back home in time for a very quiet Thanksgiving.
We visited yesterday and brought them a home-made pound cake and a cheery Christmas card. It wasn’t much, but it seemed to brighten their day a little bit.
I'm sure it did! Sometimes even a smile is all someone needs. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're right about the power of a smile.
DeleteSmall kindnesses can really brighten a day - and we are SURE this wonderful one did. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope so.
DeleteThat was really nice of you! And I bet they loved it.
ReplyDeleteI hope they did.
DeleteI know it would have brightened mine! It's always nice to know someone is thinking of you especially when you're going through a rough spell like that.
ReplyDeleteAnd rough spells definitely call for dessert! :-)
DeleteI'm sure it brightened their day a lot! They probably appreciated the visit more than the pound cake, though I'm sure the pound cake was delicious!

I hope so!
