Just a quick story, a few years back my partner and I had his son a the park and I decided to bring out the kites I had stashed in my trunk. Just thought it would be fun for the kid. Then we get his son going and were just watching on the side and my partner (35y/o) tells me he's never flown a kite before.

He had a extremely rough childhood so I could understand why. But I still felt so sad to think of the many things some take for granted that they get to do as kid, others had never done.

Lucky for him I actually had an x-wing star wars kite in my trunk as well. I hadn't used because particularly difficult to put together but for him I didn't mind at all. He had so much fun with it and i nearly cried getting to be there for it.

Just the other day we gad a rather windy day and I noticed a kite as I was driving down the road. I smiled so big but then I starting giggling to see that the person piloting the kite was none other than this big, burly man by himself flying a kite.

Just goes to show, you don't always have to have something extravagant to make a person smile. You might just need a kite.
