A Little Act of Kindness Can Go a Long Way

Some moments in life shimmer like gems, memories that stay with us forever. One such unforgettable moment happened when we decided to celebrate Grandma’s birthday for the very first time. Grandma lives with Grandpa, and she’s always humble about her special day.

Whenever I ask her when her birthday is, she’s like, “Oh! It was last month.” But this year, I wanted to make it unforgettable. I made sure to mark her special day on my calendar.

On her birthday, I went to get a cake and some sweets (she’s a lover of sweets), and headed over to her house. At first, she was confused and didn’t know what was happening. But then, everyone shouted together, “Happy Birthday Grandma!”. Her eyes filled with tears of happiness, and she rushed inside to tell Grandpa. I had never seen her cry tears of joy before.

The evening was full of laughter as we celebrated her birthday in the simplest yet the best way possible. We cut the cake, took lots of photos, and even Grandpa joined in singing the “Happy Birthday” song.

After we left, Grandma couldn’t wait to tell everyone in our family about her surprise birthday celebration. She was so happy, and it made my heart full to know that we could make her day so special.

For days, she talked about it whenever someone phoned her. It was a small thing, but it brought so much joy and happiness to her, and that’s all that mattered.

Truly, a small act of kindness we do can significantly make someone’s day or even days! And I believe that it is this kind of pure happiness that we see on their faces that fills our souls..!
