When he had gone about three blocks, he saw an elderly woman. She was sitting on a park bench watching the pigeons. The boy sat down next to her and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed the lady looked hungry so he offered her a cupcake. She gratefully accepted and smiled at him.

Her smile was so wonderful that he wanted to see it again, so he offered a root beer as well. Once again she smiled at him. The boy was delighted!

They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling without saying a word.

As it began to grow dark, the boy realized how tired he was and wanted to go home. He got up to leave but before he had gone no more than a few steps, he turned around and ran back to the old woman, giving her a big hug. She gave him her biggest smile ever.

When the boy arrived home his Mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked, "What has made you so happy today?" He replied, "I had lunch with God." Before his mother could respond he added, "You know what? She's got the most beautiful smile in the whole world!"

Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant with joy, returned to her home. Her son was stunned by the look of peace on her face. He asked, "Mother, what has made you so happy today?" She replied, "I ate cupcakes in the park with God." And before her son could reply, she added, "You know, he is much younger than I expected."

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring; all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.

Take no one for granted and embrace all equally with joy!

Very true.

That was GREAT.

My parents used to pull this kind of thing. I'm glad there were no video cameras around the year my brother and I couldn't find our Easter baskets and my mom said "I guess the Easter Bunny couldn't find our house this year."

We went nuts.

My mother tortured us as much as possible, too. From putting her toe in the drain as she let the water out of the tub to pretend she was going down the drain to threatening to go into our school with her foundation dotted all over her face before she rubbed it in. She kept up her old tricks in later years, too, wrapping up the Charlie McCarthy ventriloquist dummy as an 'anonymous gift' to my nephew, who was terrified of it. In all cases, she laughed her ass off.

Sometimes I think I missed out on a lot of good fun by not becoming a mother.

Ah hell it's a "grass is greener" sort of thing. I love the life I ended up with. Job, kids etc... because that's how it played out for me. Being a mountain man like Jeremiah Johnson, or an expat living life in Mexico would have been okay too.
