The piece of a cookie<\/p><\/div>\n

This looks like a broken or half eaten piece of an ordinary cookie right? Wrong, what you see in that precious open hand is selflessness.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnna is here in the office and she says she doesn\u2019t feel well. She does not have a fever but she looks miserable.\u201d The school secretary said with very sympathetic words over the phone to me.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnna, are you ok? I will be there as soon as I can. Go back to class for a little bit and see if you feel any better. If not when I get there I will take you home.\u201d I told Anna over the phone.<\/p>\n

\u201cOk mom.\u201d Anna replied in a sad sickly and puny voice.<\/p>\n

\u00a0As we climbed into the van and she was settled in her seat about to go home to bed, feeling ill with a headache, Anna extended her hand to me with this piece of cookie in it. She said \u201cMom, we had a birthday in our class this morning and I saved you this piece of my cookie.\u201d<\/p>\n

My jaw dropped \u201cAnna that is so selfless of you to think of me when you feel sick. Did you eat the rest of it or were you feeling too ill?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy belly doesn\u2019t hurt that bad so I ate all but that piece I wanted to save it for you. I broke it off so you wouldn\u2019t get sick.\u201d Anna said looking a bit pale.<\/p>\n

Tears filled my eyes as I took the cookie from her open extended hand and ate it and it was the sweetest cookie I have ever tasted in all my life.<\/p>\n
