An Unexpected Kindness

In all his perfection, he traveled from across the globe, and completed his expedition upon my doorstep on this otherwise dreary afternoon.

I am unable to discern whether it was he that made my heart sing, in all his glorious reds and hippo-ness.

or

Was it her, the friend whom I have never met face-to-face, who knows my heart so well that she organized his journey?

Thank you so very much, Rikki. Each time I catch a glimpse of “Little Re(i)d,” I find myself smiling. Yes, he is a perfect reminder of my “Hippo.” And, of my friend on the other side of the world.

I truly hope we meet one day. Perhaps the next journey could be yours.
