Thank you (how silly to say that) for seeing her… And for giving her your smile. I just KNOW that your smile went straight to her heart and soul and made them both feel more at home in this sometimes brutal land we call home. I know this is different than what you were writing about, but it reminded me of something I hadn’t thought about in years!! I remember when Dad and I moved to Texas after we were first married, everyone seemed so foreign, so different, so unfriendly… One day, I was in a grocery store and my tears were just burning my eyelids. The grocery clerk said “Good morning!” I was shocked! Then she smiled the whole way through my purchase and then told me to “have a great day” when I was leaving. THAT WAS 44 YEARS AGO and I can still remember the difference it made in my day, AND in my attitude about that whole town!!! My tears did come then, but from thankfulness for “someone” caring enough to be friendly to me!
