43 acts of kindness (part 14)


Treats for current and previous teachers in honor of Steve

Buying breakfast for the car behind us at Chick-fil-A

David shaved his head in honor of his brother Tim, who is getting a bone marrow transplant for multiple myleoma.

For our acts of kindness to honor Steve I started the day like a lot of people, by paying for the car behind me at Starbucks. I was at the one at Legacy and Lebanon, and she had already had a lot of cars there before me doing the same thing and starting chain reactions.

Throughout the day I tried to find as many ways as possible to hold the door, let people into traffic, etc.

Gracie and I discussed cancer and the different routes it can take, and she decided to grow her hair out for Locks of Love in honor of Katie's daddy.

Our acts culminated with the family delivering handmade cards and a Kroger gift card to the fire station near our house to help them stock their kitchen. Pictures of that to follow.

Thanks for allowing us to be a part of such a special day - I have been moved to tears every time I read your updated blog and see the different ways this has manifested itself. Very, very cool. Steve is very proud, of this I am certain.

I took a friend dinner. She just had knee replacement surgery.

Our recipient is a neighbor who always puts others before herself. She is a kind and generous person who's health has recently been compromised. We made her family Aunt Ami's homemade chicken tortilla soup. We made a gift basket with some other yummy groceries including fruit, muffins and a pumpkin cheesecake. Happy Birthday, Steve!  We love and miss you, and feel blessed to get to be a part of your 43rd Birthday Celebration!

A paper bat for a friend who loves bats.

Katelyn chose to overlook a classmate’s error. She took her pencil without knowing it was Katelyn’s, and Katelyn let her keep it.

She also invited a neighbor/classmate over to play because he had had a bad day at school.
