Butler County's great daily newspaper

A stranger's kindness

Thank you to the gentleman who on Father’s Day did a small but very remarkable kindness.

As I stood in to buy a newspaper in a convenience store, this gentleman asked me if that was all I had. When I said yes, he said, “Let me pay for it.”

I was a bit taken back when that a stranger — someone who could have been related to one of those nine beautiful souls who were taken out of this world by a violent, hate-filled individual — all I could think of was that he was demonstrating the highest form of brotherly love toward another human being, no matter the skin color.

Such kindness, empathy and compassion of this sort makes me believe there is hope for us all. God bless you, sir.
