When I was a boy, my family would sometimes gather together at my aunt’s tiny house over the summer. Relatives from all over the country would come to visit.
The adults would crowd together in the living room, around the kitchen table and on the front porch to talk and catch up on each other’s lives. All of us kids would be sent out onto the front yard to play.
Those were the days before video games and smart phones, so we often ended up playing a good old-fashioned game of tag. I remember one of those times especially I was the youngest and smallest of all the kids there, so I got caught first and couldn’t catch anyone else. Although I tried my best to chase after my brothers and cousins, they were all too fast for me. I grew more and more frustrated.
I finally lunged(猛扑) at one my brothers and fell face first into the dirt. I got up with tears in my eyes. Then I saw one of my cousins standing there. She started to run but ran much more slowly than before. I easily caught up and tagged her. Then she turned to me, smiled and said, “I’m it! You’d better run!” I ran off laughing with toy while she turned and started to chase one of my older brothers.
I see how her act of kindness that day saved me from sadness and returned me to joy. It didn’t matter that we hardly ever saw each other. We were family and she loved me. We are all one, we all belong to each other and we are one big beautiful family.
