I'm hoping we all have a story about someone who touched our lives but will never know they did it.
Do the people who crossed your path in childhood know how much what they did meant to you and you still talk about them and remember to this day? Long after they are gone. Would you like to tell them if you could how much their time meant to you?
The old men who used to make us popcorn and let us eat berries off their bush. Musty dark smelly old men who were so kind to us.
The lady across the street who had a lilac bush, let us pick some, had a green apple tree and she said we could have anything that fell on the ground so my brother would climb the tree and shake it! She taught us how to play dominos and hide the thimble.
Something someone said to you that you never forgot even 40 years later, do they know that you remember?
And have you said something to someone in passing that changed them or stayed with them as a happy memory and maybe they tell a story about you and you have know idea that they do?
I know there’s a song there.
