My manager found out his son was in a terrible car crash and his son’s life-long sweetheart who was going to be married was killed in the crash. I thought we should stop working towards the walk, but Rob responded with, “Robert, life doesn’t promise an easy path, but rather the challenges make us stronger. We have a dream, and we’ll get thru this. It makes my heart sad and heavy, but we have to keep our dreams going.

I thought about what he said, and I realized that sharing intentional acts of kindness and doing The Kindness Walk is not about an easy path, but rather take one more step when we are faced with unbearable odds. Keep my manager in your prayers and we’ll get thru this.
