Would this have ment something to you ?
A couple days ago I was sitting at the little cafe in barnes and nobel. I have been under a little stress these couple days so I seemed to be in my own little world. I was on my laptop and very focused on my research. I see an old man start walking towards me. He comes up to me and says "excuse me miss I need your help". Ofcourse I said, absolutley what can I do for him. He hands me 2 birthday cards and says "I need help picking out which birthday card is the best one to get for my daughter, can you please read them both as if you were my daughter and tell me which one you would like a father to give you. At this point everyone was staring at us but I was honered in a way and didn't care who looked. I read both cards and chose the card I liked the best. The old man was so happy and we chatted for a minute. He left with a smile on his face and before he left he said "you have something that many people don't". I went back to my work shortly after. At the moment I did not realize what had happen but as the day went on I found myself thinking about that moment when I started feeling stressed. He will never know what he did for me but for the first time i felt a very warm feeling of love from a father. It wasn't ment for me but it was something I needed at that time. For many it probably wouldn't have ment much but that moment is one that I will always hold dear to my heart. Sometimes we forget to open our eyes to the little things and we miss the little messages that are sent to us.
