My Helper Gene!
Estimated reading time: 1 minute, 2 secondsA neighbor who owns Ambelis, a local restaurant, always introduces me as the “nicest gentleman he has ever met.”
I counter and say the same thing to him.
The truth for me is that my DNA includes a helper gene.
My assistance to others includes everything from reminding people not to pay for parking when it is not in effect to paying it forward when someone might be unable to pay for an order.
If I do not help, maybe no one else will.
Helping others is part of being a mensch-in-training.
My helping gene also helps me manage my grief.
Love never dies as long as we share our passion and help each other.
