Simple Acts Can Make A Difference, Take The Time For Others

I live in the desert, with highs reaching 115° lately. The man who does weekly maintanance on my pool is quite awkward. I believe he has some kind of Autism or other issue, but he does a great job.
Last week I noticed he had his van windows all the way down, and had no sunshade in his windshield.
So before he arrived for this week's service, I went to Walmart and bought him a $10 folding one.
When he arrived yesterday morning, I went out to greet him as I always do. I mentioned that I noticed he had no sun shade and told him I had bought one for him and handed it to him. His mouth dropped open and he told me how grateful he was. He actually started to tear up and asked if he could give me a hug. As we hugged, he told me how much it meant to him and he immediately went to install it.
We chatted a bit later as he taught me how to use a function of the pool and before he left, he told me that I made his week and how grateful he was.
I am so glad that I was able to lift him up and made him feel cared about and seen. All from a little gift from Walmart!
