Recently , sisters Kara ( 15 ) and Kelly ( 12 ) had the opportunity to reunite and spend quality time together to celebrate Kara ’ s 15th birthday . During their visit , Kelly was excited to give Kara a # 24 necklace ( in honor of Kobe Bryant ), which Kara always wanted . Kelly also brought her personal sketch book and let Kara look through it . “ Nobody gets to look through this , so I brought it to show you as part of your gift ,” said Kelly . Kara was impressed with her younger sister ’ s art . At the mall , the sisters were in search of a connecting heart necklace , which they were able to find and immediately helped each other put on . Each sister took home a piece of the heart to remember each other by .
This is just one example of how lives can be changed , thanks to the kindness of others .
