My Dear Rishi,
I can't wait to see you and spend time this weekend love.
Recently, I came across one of my favourite leader and a Statesman, Abraham Lincoln's story which I had never heard or read before. Before I get into the actual story let me take this opportunity to say few words about this great man.
Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States of America. He was the president from 1861 to 1865. He abolished slavery, led the country during one of the most tumultuous period in the US history i.e. during the civil war and finally united the country. Hope one day you can read more about him and learn, love.
Now getting back to the story.
Once, while riding through the country with some other lawyers, Abraham Lincoln was missed from the party, and was seen loitering near a thicket of wild plum trees where the men had stopped short time before to water the horses.
"Where is Lincoln?" asked one of the lawyers.
"When I saw him last, " answered another," had caught two young birds that the wind had blown out of their nest, and was hunting for the nest to put them back again".
As Lincoln joined them, the lawyers rallied him on his tender-heartedness, and he said:-
" I could not have slept unless I had restored those little birds to their mother".
Rishi, Abraham Lincoln's small acts of random kindness and compassion ultimately led him to abolishing slavery in the United States. I believe abolishing slavery was the zenith of compassion any human being could undertake when stakes were high, there was much to loose and Lincoln stood his ground on abolishing slavery.
With lots of love, hugs and kisses.
Daddy
P.S: I just can't wait to see you love, I miss you so much.
