Yesterday I went to buy a little tree for my father． When I was talking with the cashier（收银员），he asked what I would be doing with this little tree． I explained that it was for my Dad， because he no longer lived at home．

The cashier just stopped and looked at me with the kindest look． He shared with me that his grandfather couldn't live in their home any longer either because he had Alzheimer's disease（阿尔茨海默症）． So I shared with him that my Dad was on the same journey． We talked about the difficulties because of the illness， not only for those who are ill， but also for their families．

When I was paying for the tree， he said， "Because this is for your Dad， let me see what I can do for you．" He took some coupons（优惠券） from a drawer and reducedmy cost by over 60%．

I thanked him for his kindness． We wished each other Merry Christmas and the best hopes for our loved family members．

On the way home I kept thinking of the kindness the offered me． It was truly a moment of "kindness given， kindness received"． I made Dad's tree more beautiful as soon as I got home． So thankful． So blessed．
