Today was the day. Dominik made 4 sandwiches: 2 peanut butter and jelly and 2 turkey and stuffing. He packed them in bags along with chips, cookies and a water bottle. He labeled the bags and off we went.
I drove and he pointed out people he thought could use a sandwich. When he found someone, I pulled the car over and he got out and asked if they would like a sandwich. The recipients were so very appreciative! Dominik got back into the car with a HUGE smile on his face. I asked him how he felt after we finished delivering all 4 bags and he said he had butterflies in his stomach. He couldn't believe that he actually helped those people. I think he was tremendously proud of himself. As he should be. As am I.
While we were driving he said "It's amazing to see the difference from a town like this to a town like Windham". I think he starting to understand that we are very fortunate to have all that we do.
I had to share this because I'm so very proud of him. I'm also so very thankful to have friends in my life that inspire these good deeds.
