In the “American Profile”, they had a section on Acts of
Kindness. I paraphrased one of the stories I read:
April 25, 2007 had become just another day on the calendar
to a nice but lonely 80-year old lady, until her observant mail carrier decided
to make sure the widow’s birthday did not go unnoticed. The mailman decided to
buy a balloon bouquet for the elderly lady. He showed up at her door and
delivered the balloons. It made her day. But he did not stop there. He continued
to buy her birthday balloons every year on her birthday. The mailman said he
has worked that same mail delivery route for 11 years and paid attention to
detail to know it was her birthday on April 25th. It has impacted
her life and she mentioned it is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for
her.
What a lovely, generous, and heart-felt story.
