In those two hours, she shared decades of memories, laughter, and loss, all through the simple act of being listened to and accompanied. Small gestures—a kind word, a hand offered without expectation—can leave the deepest impressions.
That morning, I realized: kindness is never wasted. It echoes in ways we may never see and can transform an ordinary day into something unforgettable.
