Story regarding A Random Act of Kindness:

There was a story by a man named Christopher Williams where he remembered when he was serving in the Marines in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii!  Upon receiving news that his father had just passed away, he rushed home.  He said that the only  decent thing that he had to wear to his father’s funeral was his dress blues, yet he needed a haircut as well.

Christopher needed a haircut and  wanted to get a haircut before he boarded the plane, so he went to this barbershop in Mokapu Mall which was crowded.   Desperate, he explained his situation to one of the barbers, who was a lady named Nhanh Pham.  She immediately moved the Marine to be next in line and gave “special attention” to his haircut.

To Christopher’s surprise, when he tried to pay her, she told him the haircut was free.  And not only that, she also gave him money which the other barbers in the shop had collected while he was getting a haircut and unaware of.  They wanted to make sure Christopher could buy flowers for his father’s funeral.

Due to this amazingly kind gesture, the barbers were later presented a Certificate of Commendation from Christopher’s commanding Officers in the Marine Corps.

“A laugh, to be joyous, must flow from a joyous heart, for without kindness, there can be no true joy.”–Thomas Carlyle
