Acts of Kindness for William

We feel that being kind is a simple but powerful way to honor our little boy. Acting kind to others and to ourselves is a way for us to stay positive while grieving. We like to call it “grieving in the light”. We invite you also to pledge to be kind, to give a bit of yourself away to someone else. It might be to love more. To tell your family member how much you love them. It could be a donation of some sort. It might be as simple as lending a helping hand to someone in need.

Showing compassion inspires others to do the same and so it creates a ripple effect. It would mean so much for you to keep William in your heart by thinking of him when you spread kindness.

The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation is dedicated to this exact cause. There, I found all kinds of ways to be kind :)

Kindness Ideas:

Tom and I are smiling more, going on walks, and eating healthy. We also paid for the person’s coffee behind us in the Dunkin Donuts drive through. And tip extra for hard workers. It feels really good to be kind. And it’s contagious. We’d love to hear your acts of kindness.

Go ahead and pay it forward!
