The person who “pays forward” a young mothers bill in the grocery line,
the elder who listens to the tears of a teen, and shares her wisdom,
The cat who jumps in your lap and purrs when you are lonely,
The mom who makes extra cookies for the shut-in next door,
The teacher who stays after class to help a struggling student,
The driver who lets you in line at a long red light,
the tired mom who rubs her teens back until she hears his soft breath,
These are the rare people we need more of, and who aren’t recognized.

Just as they make small, un-recognized gestures of kindness, so too can we individually thank them, recognize them. Collectively it grows.
