In the end, I think all that matters is being a good person with a big heart. Some of my most touching memories of both strangers and loved ones are the small acts of kindness.

In my lifetime, I cannot tell you how many times someone has said something to me that was just the right thing at just the right time and made all the difference.

So many people think they don't have enough money to donate, or time to volunteer, and every LITTLE bit really adds up! Mine is about even less than these wonderful people, just considering another's person's situation. <br />This is great.
