Ice cream can’t cure cancer or bring back a lost love, but it can make one feel better for a while.
A bout 18 months ago, my father was in hospital recovering from a major lung operation. My mother had recently  36 , and my father had taken the loss of his partner of 55 years very hard and had lost interest in   37 . Trying to get him to  38 each day was quite a chore as he didn’t want anything. The one thing,  39 , that he would ask us to bring him was ice-cream.

It was apparent that she did not   52  many visitors, and the ice-cream and our short chat meant a great deal to her.
I   53  the gesture a few days later, and this time was  54 with a huge hug.
I never even thought to ask her name, and never saw her again, but it made me realize that an act of   55  can be more rewarding when you give it, rather than receive it.
