Last week I had encountered an event that humbles me deeply. I make many new friends lately from my internship place and last week I hang out with them at the mall. One of my new friends, Milk, brought her mom and a 'niece' along with her. All of us were having lunch together at Ikea's food court when Milk's mom and 'niece' join us. Her mom and 'niece' sat at the table next to us, afraid us disturbing us. Milk went and get food and drinks for both of them. Well, pretty normal, right? Next, Milk's mom share her food together with her 'niece', patiencely feed her, and sharing a glass of soda with her too. Pretty normal too, right? After all, the little girl is her granddaughter or grandniece, and it's natural to take care of your family members. Well, here comes the surprise part. After a long chat, we found out the 'niece' is not related at all to Milk or Milk's mom. She's the daughter of their family driver. Wow! I never encounter such situation in my whole life until then. I have seen people bringing their employees' children for outing before, but not to the extend of sharing food and drinks together. This is clearly impressed me a lot. And, from my observation, Milk's family is very well to do type,this and add to their actions really humbles me. For Milk and her mom, both of you earn my deepest respect.
