Kevin McCarthy’s 2023 Christmas wasn’t so merry. Personal and professional problems filled his life: a financial struggle to stay afloat; a contentious marriage; and a critical illness that kept him bedridden for weeks. Adding to his misery was the depressing news of a global pandemic that had caused economic and political chaos worldwide. Despite the gloomy circumstances, McCarthy managed to find a glimmer of hope when a friend gave him a heartfelt gift and offered words of encouragement. On that day, he felt the warmth and love of human kindness – a newfound reason to be thankful in the midst of an otherwise Merry-less Christmas.
