[QUOTE="VelocityYellowRules!, post: 131518, member: 1318"] That would have been different! What a strange experience I just had. So I went after school to get my son as I usually do. I still wait for him in the hallway outside his locker area. Most of the kids don't talk to me anymore, none of the girls and just a few of the boys. I mean I don't expect any high fives or anything but just a polite greeting sort of thing. Anyway this one young man who usually always does say hi to me and ask me how my day is going asked me about my wrapped arm. I told him that I had cancer which most of my son's class does not know. The school staff do now but not the kids. Anyway, he gave me the most heart felt hug that I've had in some time and he told me he would pray for me to get better. Nice boy I thought. Divorced parents and his dad lives in Edmonton and he only sees him once a month I think, not sure if his mom has partnered up again or not so not sure how much positive adult male time he has in his life. I always hope that I can be that for anyone who needs it. Then after supper I thought I heard a knock at the door. It's a case of I must have been hearing things as no one ever comes to see my gf or I and my son always lets me know if his friends are coming over. I looked for a shadow in the door window and nothing so I opened it anyway. There is this boy again with a card and a stuffed bear for me! WOW! This is almost a moment in my life. I have made such an impression on this guy that he spends his own money, walks from all the way across town too to bring it to me. He told me that he knows how much I do for him and his class, always chaparoning field trips etc. and how no one ever says thanks or anything......................he cried then, I cried going back up the steps in my house. This day will be hard one to beat in my books.......................is it possible that you really can make a difference in someone else's life by being kind? Cheers, Garry [/QUOTE]
