Question

My husband lived in another city and we met twice a month. Sometimes we had bad fights. I felt terrible. But stopping hard times was not easy.

I usually went to work by bus, sometimes by subway. One day, in order not to be late, I took a taxi.

To kill time, I talked with the driver. “Where are you from?” I asked. “Canada. I came here 25 years ago,” he answered. Then I asked him how long he had been a driver. “A month,” he said. He also told me his daughter was disabled and she did not well at school. He didn’t have money to cure her. So he had to be a driver. I listened to him quietly. Suddenly, I got an idea. I gave some tickets for comedies to him. I advised him to take his daughter to watch them. He smiled and shook my hand. Then he drove away.

I called my husband, telling him his love made me a better person. I made peace with him.

My little act of kindness was just to give away some tickets for comedies. I didn’t change his life. But he surely changed mine.
