It’s spooky season, but that doesn’t mean we can’t show kindness. Salena Webb, a Halloween enthusiast and mother of four from South Carolina, created an elaborate graveyard display in her yard.
However, when her neighbor asked her to remove the casket decoration due to his father’s recent lung cancer diagnosis, she quickly agreed.
@thatsnorthsense My family knows i loveeee Halloween and my decorations took me awhile to make and put up. I had just purshased the skeleton carrying the casket to go along with my graveyard to really set my halloween decor off this year🥴 I was a little sad at first but i thought about the bigger picture. Me removing my casket isnt hurting me at all but it may ease and bring my neighbor a little bit of peace as he adjusts to this news. Kindness is free and compassion goes a long way. Now what to replace it with🥴😩#Thatsnorthsense #dailyvlog #compassionforothers #halloween2023 #loveyourneighborasyourself ♬ Kindness Is Free! – Music with Michal
Understanding the emotional impact, Salena removed the casket and replaced it with badminton-playing skeletons, moving scarier items to the backyard.
She shared her act of compassion on TikTok, earning praise for her kindness. Her neighbor appreciated the gesture, telling her, “You’re good people.”
