The owners of the cafe at the bus terminal are among my favourite people. They're always so nice to us and they love the kids. They thank us every time we go in, even when we don't buy anything. There is an older lady and man, and their son helps out with the business a lot. I make sure to bring the kids in as much as possible and order something small, because all three have said it makes their day better to see the boys.
The cafe has been closed for a couple weeks now though. There's a sign up saying it's temporary, but it's been a while. Someone at the terminal said the man had a stroke, but I'm not sure how reliable that information is. I do know he gets tired easily and can only work half days, because he's over 80 years old. His wife is there for over 12 hours every day, but they both work incredibly hard.
Since I don't know exactly what happened, today I made a card for them with a note giving them my phone number and telling them we are thinking of them. I offered any help they need, but if they don't need it at least they know we miss them. That was my kindness for the day, although it seems like it's too normal to count. It's something I would have done whether I'd made this resolution or not, but not everyone would do the same so it's what I'm posting.
