I witnessed a really beautiful thing today. A 5yr old boy got accidentally bumped at school.  The contact didn’t cause an injury, but the young boy became very distraught, stood motionless, and began to cry.  A classmate of his saw his sadness and quickly went and grabbed her pink fleece sweatshirt.  She then ever-so-gently used it to swab the big tears that were rolling down his face.  I stood watching in awe.  She smiled in the most heartwarming and angelic way, then held her sweatshirt to her own cheek, snuggled against it, and — as if to explain its magic — said, “it’s really soft”.  The boy stopped crying and smiled back.  The three of us stood close together and time seemed to stand still.  At that moment, it felt like the world couldn’t have been a more perfect place.
Wanted to share this with you, because life sure is full of startling bumps, and I thought you too might find some comfort in this little girl’s big heart and soft sweatshirt.
