Why this legacy matters
Kindness is one of the most natural things to pass on. When a family practices it together, a person's values live on through action, not only through words.
How your family can continue it
- Pick a week each year as your family's kindness week.
- Let each person choose their own act, large or small.
- Share the stories over a meal, without bragging and without judging.
Ways to make it your own
- ✦Suggest kinds of help that reflect what you cared about.
- ✦Include children by letting them choose a family act together.
- ✦Keep the stories in a shared jar or notebook.
A short example message
Example, written for inspiration
When you do something kind for someone who will never know your name, think of it as us doing it together. That is how I'd like to stay with you.
