Stepfather Quote ~ Treating with Kindness

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

“My stepfather never talked to me about how to treat people.  He showed me in every act of kindness I watched him do.  I always try to think what he would have done when I am unsure of what to do, and act accordingly…this strategy has never failed me.”

~ L.  Cole
