I'm sure many of you have seen this story; I was alerted it to by the Charity Focus DailyGood email: An Act of Kindness in 1988
A wonderful example of the power of the "kindness of strangers". And also of how gratitude expressed is a powerful connector, even if 20 years have passed.

Thank you Wako. I've read that, and have felt affirmed in my support of Obama because of random things just like that.
But seeing it here, on 29 Gifts makes it a little different. There are no 'others' - we are all one human family on this planet. And giving to each other does make a difference, no matter how small the gift.
Have a wonderful day!

Yes, there is no "other"!
The story really made my day, and I agree, it made me feel more connected to Obama.
Wishing you a beautiful day, too.
