Two months ago, my son Eric lost his trombone（长号）. We were very sad.
We learned that telling friends about our sad things made us feel better and less worried. We received sweet messages from friends showing their care for us. Eric received the sweetest letter reminding us that although things in life can be sad and make us upset, we can still find kindness around us.
And then, another student at a different school heard about the situation and decided to give his trombone to my son. It turned out that it was the same kind as the lost one.
We met this young man who gave it to Eric. He hoped that Eric should never stop learning and making music.
We were so thankful and happy. Eric had his first concert a couple of weeks ago. One thing about kindness is that to the receiver of kindness, it might not be necessary, but to the giver who wants to change things for the better, it becomes really necessary.
We are really thankful for everyone's kindness. And we are thankful that the trombone got lost. It taught us so much about other people＇s healing（治愈的）power, even people we have never met before.
