Soon, someone suggested a weekend neighborhood walk, and families, pets, and laughter filled the street. Sitting on my porch that evening, with Pearl curled beside me and Buddy asleep at my feet, the neighborhood felt warmer than it had in years. I realized that sometimes the best response to unkindness isn’t anger, but persistence in doing what is right.
Kindness, when allowed to stand its ground, has a way of bringing people together—and reminding us all what home truly feels like.
