Recently my best friend’s sister-in-law was murdered.
It has been just as tragic, raw and sad as one would hope to never need to imagine.
But the other day my friend told me a thing that brought tears to my eyes in a whole different way. She told me that through all the hard and sad and horror that has been going on, what has really come clear to her is that evil deeds exist as points.
Single instances.
But good makes chains. Chains of loving people, kind words and gracious acts. Loving family and friends lead to kind strangers. And the good deeds from all of them exist in chains that can stretch on and on.
I’m linking to the Go Fund me account that has been set up for the family. I’m not expecting you to donate, though the family would be grateful. I just wanted to remind you that even the small kindness you add to the world makes a difference when they join the chain.

❤ Thank you Dan.

And indeed, good makes chains…

My heart breaks for your friend’s family. All loss of life is a wound, but loss caused by evil is tragic. But you are right; goodness forms chains. All we need do is reach out in kindness and become part of the chain. Kia Kaha: stand strong.
Than you for *your* kindness. ❤
Agreed, it is like a chain. So, sorry to hear about this tragedy.
Thank you.
Oh, so sad. May the kindness of friends and people console the bereaved family.
Thank you Imelda
I’m so, so sorry that this happened. I’m sending so much love to you and yours. ❤

That’s the best response! Links in the goodness chain! I love that!
