There are some people you can just hear the smile in their voice. I hear the smile in Andrea’s voice. Andrea is my granddaughter’s piano teacher. She is an amazing teacher, who relates well to children. She sees the wonder and positivity in everything; her excitement is contagious.
Andrea also relates well to adults. I will never forget her kindness. I took Ally to her piano lesson. Unfortunately, when we were ready to leave to my dismay my car would not turn over; the battery was dead. It was a dreadfully cold night of 10 degrees with a chilly wind. Andrea said, “No problem! I can jump your car!” Andrea missed her appointment, pushed my car so she could get her car in position and successfully jumped my car. She also made sure my phone was adequately charged, in case I didn’t make it home. All this was amazing enough, but she perceived this not as inconvenience but as an adventure. I often feel guilty when I inconvenience others but Andrea willingness was unbelievable, she made me feel like we were having a fun ladies night.
The next time I am able to support and help someone, I will remember that frigid night when Andrea voice warmed my heart. I hope a missed appointment, chilly fingers or any other inconvenience will not show in my voice. I hope my willingness will come across crystal clear. By the way, I now know how to jump a car; Andrea is a great teacher! I award Andrea with this month’s Caring Heart Award for her willingness and kindness.
