Kids can be cuel. A beautiful story

[bernie]

Wasn't sure where to post this but it's a great story. I read this story in my local paper a few years ago and it always makes me smile to think of it. Usually around easter time, for obvious reasons. But other times too, it's such a good one.

A mother wrote in about her favorite Easter story. She wrote that she took her young daughter, (maybe 4-6 yrs?) to an egg hunt. There were a bunch of kids there and a big field.

One thing though, her daughter was blind.

Bell rings, all the kids scatter and snag. The daughter being left in the dust by them, kind of groping along. She was getting skunked when one little boy decided to put an egg in front of her to find. Upon finding it, her whole face lit up. Seeing that reaction, the little boy kept putting his eggs out for her to find. Eventually some of the other kids clued in and joined the boy. Her basket got filled.

The mother wrote that it was one of her greatest memories she had of Easter. Reading it made it one of mine.

It's always good to read/hear about a story like this about little kids. Sometimes little kids can be cool.
