A Day in the Life of....

This happened at Kaiser today around about 11am-ish... I was sitting in the waiting room, watching good'ole Free Willy when a little girl about 4 years old started to stare at me. I smiled, she smiled, I smiled, she smiled. After our several smiles it was obvious she was doing things to get my attention. Like showing me her shirt that said HELLO. The most amazing part of this story goes like this......

Little Girl: "Mommy do you have paper and a pencil?"
Mom: "Yeah, but why?"
LG: "I wanna write that lady a note."

(I was so excited becuase I knew I was, "that lady"!)

She then just did a quick hand gesture on the paper, ripped it out of the note book, walked over to me, shy but confident. Handed me the note....
Me: "Thank you so much, what does it say?....Does it say, Hello?"
LG: "No (short giggle), it says I Love You."

I think my heart skipped 1,000 beats. That was probably the cutest thing thats ever happen to me. I thanked her and as I left we said goodbye, she probably wont remmember me, but I will never forget her.

It made me realize how distant we are from one another, sure most of us are strangers to eachother, but someone sitting next to you could be someone amazing and you will never even know it. I feel I miss out on alot of cool people becuase saying hello to strangers is, "weird". We all need to get out of our shell and be more social.

Thank you precious little girl for opening my eyes to the world.
