A simple kindness idea: give a call to someone who will smile hearing you

Welcome. Some tiny beads of inspiration and reflections about life.  

          A VOICE CALL

I have an auntie who is 86 years old. 

She used to be very active, go for walks,

ride her bicycle and enjoy her car.

After a few incidents of minor strokes,

she had to give up her car and her bicycle.

She can only go to walk if a person accompanies her

Yesterday, in the evening, I thought about my day

and I had not done extra things to make others smile.

I gave a voice call to her phone (she is not used to video calls)

And I could hear her voice, in the beginning quite down,

but after a while I could HEAR her smile.
