The football player that admitted that he wouldn't have ever thought to do this type of thing for Keith shows that he is incredibly honest, smart and has an amazing heart and soul for life and others. This just shows us all that a simple act of kindness can change the hearts of so many. Never forget that we are all and we need to show kindness to others because it may not seem like much but it may be the one that act of kindness can be the one thing that person needed at that time!! We all have times in our lives that we can feel alone and a little bit of happiness is just what was needed. Sorry for the long message but I've been neurological condition and sometimes when I take my medication I kind of Babble on, so thanks for reading.
