“Thank you,” he said.
“I missed her so much, but I knew I couldn’t give her what she needed. Seeing her like this… it means everything to me. I don’t know when I’ll be able to see her again.”
“You don’t have to say goodbye forever,” Liam told the man.
“We can bring her to see you. Right, Mom?”
I nodded, smiling through my tears. “Of course.
We’d love to.”
From that day on, we visited him every two weeks.
We’d bring Daisy, along with food and supplies. The man never asked for anything except some time with Daisy. He wanted to hold her, play with her, and feel a sense of connection again.
Slowly, we got to know him better.
His name was Edward, and he had been through more hardship than I could imagine, yet his love for Daisy had never wavered.
Months later, another letter arrived.
But this one had an address.
Dear Emma,
Your kindness gave me hope when I had none. I’m writing to tell you that I’ve started over. I found a job, and I’m staying in a small condo now.
I’ll never forget what you and Liam did for me. Thank you for believing in me.
Your friend,
Edward.
Soon, Edward became part of our family.
I’m grateful that fate sent Daisy our way because it taught Liam the power of kindness. It also proved that even the smallest acts of love can change lives.
Sometimes, I think about how close I was to saying no that day.
And how saying yes changed everything.
So, before you say no to kindness, pause and think.
The world thrives on kindness, and it needs those who step up without hesitation. Those who open their hearts even when it’s hard.
It needs people like you to make it brighter, warmer, and better for everyone.
