We were in a small pub in our town visiting with friends and relatives. Several feet from us sat Audra and her little brother, Jake. He was playing a video game, while Audra watched him.

While she watched her brother play the game her usual river of drool rolled down her chin. We were most used to this and not bothered by it.

The pub was busy with bodies enjoying beer and fish and chips so I kept my eye on my kids to make sure they were safe. It was then I noticed a big scary looking biker type of guy looking at Audra.

Again, I was used to people looking at her because they were usually wondering about her disability. The biker guy walked over to Audra and without saying a word bent down to her level and with a napkin gently wiped the drool from her chin.

It was one of the most compassionate things a stranger had ever done for her and for me it changed the way I percived people and stereotypes. I learned that random acts of kindness can come from the most unexpected places and people........
