Do something Kind today...
World Kindness Day serves as a reminder of the importance of being kind to one another and fostering goodwill in our communities. It encourages individuals to engage in acts of kindness, whether through small gestures or larger philanthropic activities. The day aims to highlight the positive impact that kindness can have on individuals and society as a whole, reinforcing the idea that simple acts of kindness can create a ripple effect, inspiring others to do the same.

A Reunion Years in the Making: Darius Finds His “Mama Gray” at DayBreak Village.

Last weekend, DayBreak Village Senior Living was filled with emotion, joy, and a touch of magic as Darius reunited with someone who changed his life forever—his first-grade summer schoolteacher, Dawn Gray. To DayBreak Village & our Staff, Dawn is a smiling, kind and joyous resident, her family comes to visit and often helps with activities in our home. We love this family!

Debbo, Dawns sister tells us that Dawn wasn’t just any teacher. She was a person who made a difference to those she touched. Dawn was Darius's summer schoolteacher in 1st grade! She literally took him under her wing, and soon she was keeping him at her house while his mom worked on weekends. Youngest picture is him with Dawn's dog. He said Dawn took him to many museums throughout Atlanta, let him play in her leaf piles while she gardened, and made him eat healthy food! The last time he saw her was in 2011. He was in 11th grade, and she took him to the aquarium. They stayed in touch though texts for the next 7 years. Her final text to him was Dec 8, 2019. He replied to her on Dec 13, 2019, and never heard back. He's been searching for her ever since. He calls her Mama Gray.

DARIUS: I don’t know where to start but last weekend was amazing. I jumped on the road and drove 3 hours because I had to lay eyes on her! He found her at DayBreak Village. This was my 1st grade teacher Dawn Gray. I don’t know what she saw in me at such a young age but she fell in love with me on day one. My Mom was working that summer, so I went to summer program at the school with friends and I met this beautiful soul. Though Dawn’s memory has faded and her words are few, Darius was able to coax out smiles. “She was the first person outside my family who truly believed in me,” he said. “She loved me like her own. I was the son she never had.”

We have gone on so many trips and visited so many places. Every place I learned something new because there was always a lesson in our outings and good discussions afterwards. We lost contact back in 2019, and I have been trying for years to get back in touch with her.

Sadly, I found out her memory is no longer what it once was, and she barely talks now but I was able to get some smiles out of her and the little boy in me is hoping she remembers me. I love this lady to pieces.

Their reunion was a testament to the enduring power of love, mentorship, and the impact one person can have on another’s life. Darius’s visit reminded everyone at DayBreak Village that even the smallest gestures, smile, a weekend outing, a home-cooked meal—can leave lifelong imprints.
