I just heard the most heartbreaking sentence come out of a small child's mouth in my life.

I was sitting at the park enjoying the beautiful weather and noticed a mother with a boy about 5 or 6 with her. He looks at her and says "my tummy hurts because I'm hungry." His mom looks at him and softly says "I know sweety. Only a couple more days."

Now I don't know the woman's situation and I didn't ask. I simply went over to the deli across the street and bought them both some food. I also gave her some money so she could get some stuff later to hold them over for a few days.

I have never seen a child's eye light up so bright as that little boys did. The mother was in tears.

No child's tummy should ever hurt from being hungry. I am so thankful I was there at that moment and was able to help them. I truly believe that being kind goes a long way.
