I grew to love and respect Xavier, who showed me many small kindnesses like tying my shoe-laces, wiping my nose or offering me the odd sweet. |
She asked each of us to give her a list of kindnesses that we had done for other people. |
Strangers extend kindnesses at unlikely times and can make you feel so good. |
But I feel such greed would have not been the correct response to the kindnesses I had already been shown. |
The crotchety and the crooked have their vulnerabilities and kindnesses, and no-one is wholly good or bad. |
Before you had it even formulated in your mind, she had offered to help and, sadly, we never had a chance to return so many kindnesses. |
