Today's AoK was something that I had a total blast doing: swimming! How, you may be wondering, is that an act of kindness? Well, let me expound:
A very close family friend, has three adorable little kids that have been a part of my life since almost the day each of them were born. The youngest one still insists that I'm her 'step-sister' and though we've tried many times to explain to her that we're not ACTUALLY sisters, she still doesn't get it. Anyhow, over the past year or so we've all been busy and haven't had much time to spend together except when they'd come to my house for help with school work or just to hang out for an hour. The middle child, (we'll call him 'B' for privacy's sake) had told his mother a few days ago that he missed how we all used to go swimming together, and his mom related his complaint to me. So, today they all came over to my house for, what they thought, was just going to be another boring afternoon reading, me helping them with their summer-school homework, and maybe playing video games. Instead, however, I jumped into the pool and we all had a great day swimming, and hanging out as in years past. It was a lot of fun, and the kids were all really excited... and I was happy to put a smile on their adorable little faces :)

Special shout-out to Soldier, who was there during the festivities!!!
