Make Someone Smile

My father in law is a professor at the University of Ottawa and is nearing the end of his teaching career...my suggestion was that he teach until my baby reaches university but he did not think this was practical...haha.

His birthday happened to fall on a day where he had a night class so we decided to surprise him by bringing our son to watch him teach.  Since it was a night class, we had both worked all day and it was a rush home to get there in time. My husband even wondered if perhaps we should go on another day as we were busy, we’d keep the baby up past his bedtime, we didn’t have parking downtown, we hadn’t eaten yet and we were already running late by the time I got home.  

But, I was determined that we go so off we went.  Baby L was crying in the car the entire way, we encountered traffic and sure enough, it took us 20 mins to find parking and then we had to walk to the class.  Needless to say, there were several times where I wondered if this was a good decision….but we persisted on.

We showed up to class (late) and surprised him and boy was he surprised!  It was a short visit as we had interrupted his class and then we were off to go back home.

The next day, we got a phone call from Dad and he was so happy that we made the visit.  He said it was a moment he would remember for the rest of his life. What an honour it was to be able to do something so meaningful for someone.  For us, we showed up to say happy birthday, for him, it meant much more.

You never know the impact you will have with one random or not so random act of kindness.  So be kind, do nice things for others and you never know how it can affect someone.

When was your last random act of kindness?  Comment below.
