Act of Kindness

Act of Kindness
Sarah, aged 4, did the most unusual thing at her cousin Roy& Fern's wedding. While friends were streaming out of the room, mingling and shaking hands at the lobby, she went to every single of them. Holding a bunch of roses, she bowed low before them and say 'Thank you'. She did that to every single one of them, about some 30 people. As they leave the door, she say, "Bye".

Then another surprise. She disappeared into the dinner room. There were some 20 staff unpacking the tables. She went to every single one of them, bowed her head 90% with a bunch of roses and say "Thank you".

The staff were surprised and recipocrated. One of the staff gave her a red rose. It put a smile on their face. I was embarrassed. I called Sarah to come back. She simply ignored me and do her own thing. As always.

I'm so proud of her. I did not teach her to do that. She just do it her way.

She has done an act of kindness by thanking the waitresses and waiters. My child is my teacher.
