Yesterday I wrote about the act of kindness I witnessed at the vet's office. Today I continued to think about it. I found myself wishing I had said something to the woman who hugged a stranger without a second of hesitation. And then I realized that it wasn't too late.
On the way home from work I stopped by the vet's office with a card thanking her for being a role model for those of us who aspire to be kind, but sometimes are paralyzed by trying to figure out the "right thing" to do. I described the woman, her beagle and what time she had been in, and the receptionist agreed to send it along to her. I may not be able to hug on cue, but a simple thank you I can do.
