“The way you treated me.”
Fresh tears rolled down her cheeks.
“You were the only person who didn’t make me feel invisible.”
The room fell silent.
For a moment neither of us spoke.
Then she whispered:
“I didn’t do anything special.”
“That’s the thing.”
I smiled.
“You did.”
People rarely understand the impact of kindness when they’re giving it.
They only see the moment.
Not the future.
Not the ripple effect.
Not the life that changes because of it.
I stood up.
