A four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman had recently lost his wife.
Upon seeing the man cry , the little boy went into the old gentleman’s yard , climbed onto his lap , and just sat there.
When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor , the little boy said ,
‘Nothing , I just helped him cry’
Sometimes that’s EXACTLY what we need…someone to help us cry. Compassion in its most simple form.
Deb, I think that’s really all we need. : )
