Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.
The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."
I hope these made you smile, laugh, and if you're like me -- shed a few joyful tears!
Life is so INSANELY beautiful!
La medida del amor es amar sin medida.
(San Agustín)
The measure of love is to love without measure.
(St. Augustine)
