All Good News

I was overwhelmed that someone could be that kind, he is a very lovely man and a lovely landlord.

We lived in that house for 3 years before buying our own home.

Fast forward to present day, I received a text message from our cleaner apologising as he would be unable to come for that fortnight's clean as his wife had gone into labour and through some complications required a c-section. As we were in a position to do so we paid him for this fortnight's clean anyway.

They are a small business, husband and wife team and with both of them unable to work during what should be one of the happiest times of their lives, the thought of them stressing and worrying about money didn't sit well with me. They are immigrants, like myself and far away from family and a support network.

So I paid the kindness forward, what our lovely landlord did for us back then we have done for our lovely cleaner. I know they will pay it forward when they are in a position to do so.

My mantra is "In a world where you can be anything, be kind".
