Helping
Story★★★★A little girl was once late coming home from play. When her mother asked her
where she had been, she explained that her friend had fallen and broken her very
special doll. “And,” said the little girl, “I stayed to help her.”
“How did you help her?” asked the mother.
“I just sat down and helped her cry.”
1Tengbom, Letting Tears Bring Healing and Renewal, 3.
The point
When a friend's doll broke, a little girl stayed not to fix it but to help her friend cry—sometimes compassion and presence matter more than solutions.
