Today was a hectic day overall. I was late to pick up Kylie,
it was raining, and there was a book fair, ice cream social at school the
works. Homework felt like tug of war. Both Kylie and I were just
frustrated and working to get it all done.
Our doorbell rang and we both looked at
each other and went to see who was at the door. Standing there was Evintz
(we call him Evan) our UPS driver. He always delivers our packages with a
smile has a secret hand shake with Kylie and stops to talk to Kylie. He goes out of his way everyday and is always
thinking of us! Today when we opened the door he was holding a pink box
with a bow. My first reaction was wow what cool marketing that it comes
wrapped and what store is that from as I surely need to start ordering from
them.
Quickly it hit me that the box he was
holding was from him. He wished Kylie a Happy Birthday asked her about
her birthday party and gave her this large box with a smile. Tears formed
in my eyes and Kylie was grinning ear to ear.
The news is full of bad stories and
negative things. However there are so many good things going on in the
world that we don't see or treasure! This is an example in life where we are
reminded that we need to stop and smell the roses. I don't know how but
we are truly blessed with some amazing people in our lives. We will
continue to pay it forward and hope to give back as well.
After Evintz left, Kylie and my attitudes
completed changed it was the right time for a intervention. We are so
grateful for this act of kindness and blessed to have him in our lives. Thank You Evintz, you do a lot more than deliver packages!
