When the dance is about to begin, the caller calls out to find a partner. My husband grabbed my hand for most of the night. Near the end of the evening, my husband noticed that there was a little girl crying because she had wanted to dance but didn't have a partner.
We'd already begun to dance and swung to the steps being called out, but he was distracted because he kept noticing the crying girl. He tried more than once to get the attention of the caller to help her find a partner. But the dance danced on without her.
However, at the end of this particular dance the caller put herself into the circle and begun to lead us all around the room. As we passed by the little girl who had dried her tears, my husband grabbed her hand to include her in this part of the dance that didn't require a partner.
After that song, the next dance was a waltz. One of my daughters wanted to dance with her daddy but I stood my claim as his partner. I wasn't going to miss out on dancing with my husband, but shortly into the dance, a little girl cut right in on our dance.
It was the girl who had been crying because she'd been left out. She began to dance with my husband.
I let her cut in.
I understood. She had been drawn to his kindness.
He had seen her need and reached out in a small, seemingly insignificant way. But it touched her.
Kindness drew her.
Kindness matters even in the smallest ways.
Such a sweet story. Sometimes kids are overlooked as we forget what it was like being a kid.

MJ looks about the same age in the photo as the girl at the dance was. How time flies...
