Once, many years ago, my Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and was scheduled for a mastectomy.
That morning I attended a college class in which the husband of a good friend was also a student. Most mornings we said hello to one another and that was about it - he would sit with his guy friends, and I usually sat alone. When he entered class that morning, he came and sat next to me. He never mentioned my mom, never talked about the situation at just sat next to me and chatted a bit.
That was the day I learned that sometimes the kindest act is just to BE I always remember this as one of the most touching acts of kindness I've ever received.

很多年前，我媽媽被診斷出患有乳腺癌，並計劃做乳房切除手術。那天早上，我到大學去上課。其中一個好朋友的丈夫當時也是一名學生。大多數早上我們只是互相打招呼——他會和他的朋友坐在一起，而我通常獨自坐着。那天早上，當他走進教室，他坐在我的旁邊。他沒有提起過我的媽媽，從來沒有問現在的狀況……他只是坐在我旁邊聊了一會兒。
那一天，我發現有時候最善意的舉動就是待在那…我永遠記得這是我接受到的最動人的善意。
