Small Kindnesses warm my cold, cold, heart...

Johnny forgot to take his lunch today, and told me so while we were in Redlands, dropping his brothers off at their high school.
I NEVER have cash on me, and we were running late. I rummaged around my purse for
any semblance of money, to find none.

Alex, my 13 year old, asks for a bag or piece of paper towel... something, so he can divide his lunch in half for his little brother.
***
Yes, I started crying.
I'm still 14.
***
He gets a new car...

  2. Awwww, that is the sweetest thing! Did you find a paper towel?? Most office staff will keep a "free lunch fund" in the office for just in case. I know that I did when I was the secretary.
