Every morning my friend would stop on the way to work to have a quick breakfast with her 8-year-old son. Then she 36 him off at school. They ate the same thing every morning: an egg sandwich, juice, coffee for her, and milk for him.
One day she ordered a(n) 37 breakfast. Once they finished eating and were heading out of the door, she 38 , said good morning to a homeless man sitting outside of the 39 , and gave him the breakfast she had ordered for him. He 40 her, telling her it was his first meal during the last several 41 . She couldn’t help but feel 42 and was glad she finally took 43 .
She told her son that she had seen the man every day that week there and that 44 , herself included, had offered him 45 , support, food, or drink. She 46 explained that homelessness could happen to anyone and that it was important to 47 needy people.
So her “Tradition of Kindness” 48 . Each day she and her son went on to 49 the homeless man breakfast. The 50 was kept until they moved away several years later, 51 the experience was firmly put into her son’s mind.
My friend 52 every time she tells me that this “Tradition of Kindness” goes on with her son, who remembers this 53 tradition. Now working in a company, her son stops every morning at Starbucks for a coffee and offers a homeless person a breakfast before going to the 54 .
What a great tradition that he can 55 to his children as well!
