Random kindness

Something really random just happened so I thought I would share.
I was sitting in my office, which is actually a small room inside a suite inside a hotel in Baghdad, feeling rather blue – it happens every now and then.
Truth be told, I was generally feeling sorry for myself. Pathetic, considering how bad other people have it out here, but there you go.
Anyhow, the cleaner, who visits my room every day and always greets me with a big smile no matter what is going on in his life, came in to make some comment about the laundry.
I tried to hide the fact that I was upset, but failed.
As soon as he noticed, the young man sprang into action, wiping away my tears, telling me to be happy and not to worry about anything. He even planted a big kiss on my head as if I were a member of the family or something.
Before I knew it the cleaner was off pottering around the bathroom with a mop, but thanks to his kind gesture I feel much better.
