Acts of service can be as simple as showing up. ❤️

When Gene Kelly’s wife died, Gene withdrew from everyone and shut himself up in a back room of his home.

One night, there was a knock at Gene’s kitchen door.

When Gene didn’t answer, the caller kept knocking.

……..“There’s nobody home”…..said Gene.

“I know. That’s why I came to be with you”.

When Gene opened the door, it was Fred Astaire.

He brought soda and sandwiches.

The two sat together all night long without saying a word.

Several years earlier, when Fred’s wife died, Gene did the same for Fred.

Wow - what a great group of professionals here in Area 2. A big thank you to Joe Howard, Leisa Howard, and Danila Kartashov for inviting me out. Not to mention, this couldn’t have been possible without the support of Daisey Lynam running the show back home. ❤️
