His smile Angela bit her lip torn between pride and her daughter's kindness and worry about her safety sweetheart that was very generous of you but we need to talk about being careful around. Strangers Mia's smile faltered slightly but Mom John wasn't scary he was just hungry and alone Angela sighed pulling Mia into a hug I know you have a big heart baby that's. One of the things I love most about you but not everyone in the world is as kind as you are we need to be careful.

Help come tell me first we can figure out how to help together I promise Mom Mia said solemnly Angela smiled ruffling Mia's curls that's my girl now how about you help me set.
The table for dinner as they moved around the kitchen together Angela couldn't help but Marvel at her daughter's compassion despite the challenges they faced. She knew she was raising a child with a heart of gold yet as a mother she couldn't shake the nagging worry about the potential dangers of the world. That night as Angela tucked me into bed she sat on the edge of the the mattress stroking her daughter's hair Mia I want you to know. That I'm proud of you for wanting to help others it's a beautiful quality Mia beamed up at her mother really Angela nodded really but remember we have to be smart about how we.

On her shoulders but moments like these seeing the pure untainted kindness in her daughter's heart made it all worthwhile as she moved through their small apartment tidying up. Before bed Angela's mind wandered to the homeless man in the park she couldn't help but wonder about his story what circumstances had led him to that it was a stark reminder of how. Fragile life could be how quickly circumstances could change she thought about her own struggles the long hours at work the constant juggling of bills. The sacrifice of her own dreams to provide for Mia yet they had a roof over their heads food on the table and most importantly.
