Kindness Begins With Me

Don't tell Grampa, but I'm going to share this:
A few days ago we went to Costco.  It was very windy and quite cold.  Slightly snowing.  Grampa grabbed a cart because "sometimes they are low on carts". 

As we went through the door I showed the lady my card.  Turned around just in time to see Grampa handing off his cart to a man carrying a little one with another toddler in tow.  All I saw was the surprised look on the young dad's face and his mouth saying "thank you,"

I said to the lady at the door. "I'll just wait here for my husband." 
"Oh" she said, "Is that he the one who gave his cart away?"  I replied "Yes".
"That was so kind!" she said 

She had witnessed the whole quick interaction.  Very proudly this time, I said  "Yes, he's a very kind man!"

And he is.

Love to all,
Gramma
