Dalai Lama Foundation Study Circle Montreal

I offered to help get his shopping into the car. He thanked me for the offer but insisted he was fine and said that if he didn’t do things himself they just wouldn’t get done as he has no one else to do them.

I didn’t like to push the point in case I offended him so I put my son in the car and packed my own shopping away. Then I took an apple pie & cream over to his car and asked if he would like it. His face lit up and he said he loved apple pie. So, I gave it to him.

He was very surprised and wanted to know why. I joked that he hadn’t let me help him with his shopping, so I had to think of something else! I felt so happy as I drove home and hope he really enjoyed his apple pie and cream.
