During a family visit there was this image captured that I cannot erase. My father who showed no emotions had placed my child on his lap at the kitchen table. She was gently held by him while he shared his favorite snack of cut up oranges with her. He embraced her, showed gentle love and simple conversation. This scene hit me like a ton of bricks as they say. It showed fragility in the young and old and how love is all we need to thrive. Moments of kindness and love in action.
