Loving kindness

 A friend’s mum died unexpectedly earlier this week.  When I went to visit her today, knowing from experience that those first few days after a death are difficult, I took a carrot cake that I’d baked. I expect she’ll have plenty of visitors during the week and might appreciate something to offer them.  I still remember the thoughtful gestures shown to me when my parents died; home-made biscuits, a touching message on a card, a copy of a previously unseen photograph.  Such simple things in themselves but all sharing a powerful message of loving kindness during a time of sadness
