My daughter turned 5 years old April 15, 2013. She wanted to make people smile. We bought 18 long stem Roses at Safeway. Grace Randomly handed out these roses to who "she" felt could use a smile. The response was more profund than even I expected. 7 people's day changed from horrible days to great ones, 11 took pictures with her, 3 cried and came back for hugs, and told her how much it meant to them. One I swear held my daughter for 10 minutes sobbing (she was missing her children that day). One woman (at the coinstar) gave her a HUGE gummy toothless smile and told her she now has faith in our children of today. I gave her $10. She stated "I can now buy meat for dinner to feed my family."
I am so pround of her selflessness on her 5th birthday. We need to do this more often. Pay it forward, teach your children!
