A memory…

Jeff, over at RabBits, shared a heartwarming post:

He stirred a memory in me, one I cherish to this day:

I remember a special needs bag boy. I shopped at that store so I could see him. I still do, though he’s long since moved away. I cried when he moved. I still miss his smile and his joyous greeting. I knew his name at the time and used it, but I’ve forgotten all these years later. I will always remember the light in his eyes, his joy of living, his acceptance of his life. I learned so much from him.

Some people only touch on the periphery of your life, and yet they change your life forever. But only if you let them. Let them.
