I’m quite thrilled when I find people with certain character traits that are quite rare. Traits even I still try to attain and/or develop.
In our current “busy” world filled with impatient people, it gives me much joy to find patient and kind people. When I do, it feels like I hit gold.
I went on a 7 day trip with my mom and son to see my dad…he lives and works four hours away, the same town where my sisters live.
It was a short vacation and a chance to be with family.
We were introduced to a young man. He was going to be available to help drive us around town…especially my mom.
He isn’t a driver by profession…he was going to do this voluntarily.
I really didn’t need him, I had actually planned to get by on my own…but somehow, he made needing him quite easy.
Yawe…that’s his name.
He was polite, kind and patient.
He was smart and good with positive and productive suggestions.
He was good with my son too.
I know I am not the most patient person in the world so his patience was a big deal to me.
He was patient with my mom even when my sisters and I seemed to be weary with her at some point.
I am drawn to acts of kindness and he threw it around without hesitation.
He made our stay easy. I hope I meet more Yawes in the world and I pray I can be a Yawe for others too.
