2. In a world where acts of kindness often go unnoticed,a good story that has been discovered reminds us of the power of care and the effect it can have on someone's life.
It all started with a "Kindness Week Challenge" given to Brennan by his 8th-grade teacher,Ms.Watkins.Little did he know that this challenge would lead to a wonderful friendship with 84-year-old Ms.Ann.
Brennan's promise to send his little attractive things every day for a week developed a habit of checking up on Ms.Ann and sending gifts regularly(定期地),long after the challenge was over.
Their friendship has now lasted for over five years,and Brennan still visits Ms.Ann every month with flowers,cakes,chocolates,cards and more.
They talk about everything from his high school life to his college goals.The pair has found that they share a common love of chocolates.Ms.Ann always hopes to hear about what he's doing and loves to share her own stories from a different time.They have become the best friends,with Brennan treating her as his great-grandmother.
Brennan's mom,Traci,takes pride in her son.She said, "The best thing a teenager can do is to take care of the elderly.I'm so glad my son has added more sunshine to Ms.Ann's life.I hope he always remembers the joy he's brought her,and his fun talks with her,keeps his kind heart,and thinks of others."
Ms.Ann's daughter Emma,with her husband Gould,has a 2-year-old son.They are thankful for Brennan's friendship as they cannot always be with Ms.Ann.Brennan's kind heart has brought more sunshine into Ms.Ann's life,and her encouraging words have helped to inspire(啟發(fā))him in return.
