I had just moved from Alaska with three unhappy t(w)eens, sitting in car at Main Post Office in Hilo, wondering whether I made the right choice, waiting for kids to check box and generally feeling overwhelmed. A man walked up to my window holding a big green ball saying, "Here. I think your kids will like this" I took his kindness as a sign and have had many more of these random acts of generosity since. I have lived all over the globe and have relied on the kindness of strangers once in a while, but never the number and frequency as here. Really incredible.
