Rhys is a little guy in Jane’s kindergarten class with an aversion to mornings. He’s a slow-moving dude before noon. Today, Jane helped him with the long walk into school. She picked up his backpack and with a hand on his back, walked Rhys toward the doors.

As I left to get back in the car, Rhys’ mom said, “He’s lucky to have a friend who will carry his stuff.”

We’d all be blessed to have a friend who would carry our stuff.
