so when we got home from afternoon shift (me dripping wet from being attacked due to carnival festivities) kayla and abby were in the kitchen making everyone french toast (random act of kindness number one). after i grabbed my two pieces and sat down at the kitchen table, i was admiring the new calendar up on the whiteboard. my birthday was obviously in the square marked march 19th and i proceeded to explain my thoughts on my birthday, which include it being the second greatest day of the year after christmas. david, the father of our boy volunteer who is visiting for a week and also one of the most fantastic men i know, was sitting to my right and said, "who is going to play santa for your birthday?" and i said "i don't know, i'll probably just have caitlin (the greatest cook in the house) make me a feast." he then reached into a wallet, pulled out a crisp $20 bill, and laid it in front of me saying, "well happy birthday paige"
that, ladies and gentlemen, is kindness


i love this. i love you. and i love your life.
