Oh my heart!
I was at the laundromat folding my clothes when another customer came in and took one of the carts.
She took it outside to her car and I could see she had several bags to carry in. Even after loading it up, she ended up carrying another bag by hand as well.
Now, as she was approaching the closed door of the laundromat, a little boy, maybe 4/5/6, the son of the lady working the morning shift, suddenly ran around me, struggled to quickly open the door, succeeded, and stood guard until the woman with the cart and clothes got through. Then he went back to his seat where he resumed watching a PBS children's program.
His mom was in back so she didn't see what her amazing, compassionate young son had done.
What a beautiful soul! I couldn't get over how kind and aware and big hearted he had chosen to be!
I wanted to sing his praises to his mom, but there's a language barrier, so I contented myself with singing his praises to the woman he had assisted. And because its touched me so much, I had to share it with you, too.
And it honestly came at the perfect moment. I really needed to witness that gesture of open hearted kindness. I really, really did♥️
