Being kind is great of importance. Even when someone does something small to help us, it can make a big difference. It can change how we feel or even change our whole life. Kindness reminds us that people are good, and it inspires us to be kind to others too.
The story that was shared on Reddit will prove that. “My biological father walked out on my mom when I was less than 1 year old. My mom work full time at a pizza place and met a guy named Scott who also worked there. Scott asked my mom out on a date and she told him no, because she was 21 years old with two children, ages 3 and 1 and Scott was a 20-year-old single guy who wouldn’t want to deal with that baggage.
However. Scott persisted. After a while, my mom gave in and they went on their date.On the way home, Scott’s car ended up getting t-boned and my mom broke her collarbone. Scott felt terrible and insisted on taking care of my mom and helping her take care of us. I’m pretty sure he never left our side after that. Fast forward to now. I’m 29 years old with a younger sister and brother and the absolute BEST father in the entire world.
Scott has done everything in the world for me. Raised me, played with me, supported me financially, supported me emotionally, taught me, fed me, clothed me, cried with me, laughed with me, cheered for me, paid for my college, paid for my wedding, but most importantly, he loved me. He never had to do any of those things. He didn’t have to be my father, but he chose too, and that’s the kindest thing anyone has ever done for me.”
