A couple of months ago I was waiting for my wife in the grocery store. At the far end of the store I saw a couple of people waving. As they got closer, I could see that they were waving at me. I recognized the two brothers and the friendly grins on their faces. These two are about 14 and 16.
These two boys lived a few houses down from me until three years ago. They still come back and visit their Dad. They happen to be two of the finest boys you could ever wish for.
So they came up to me in the store and we had a chat. They convey the impression that they genuinely like you and enjoy the conversation. They're enthusiastic and never run out of things to talk about. They know what I like to talk about and they keep the conversation on my topics.
They had been in the grocery store to get a couple of things for their Mom and obviously a few things for themselves as they had chips soda pop and I think some candy.
They left in the same way they came. They were genuinely happy that they had stopped for a visit.
They left me standing with a great feeling that someone had come and given me their attention. They enjoyed the time.
As they left , I couldn't help feeling like Santa. They came and were happy to see me and went away happy as if I had given them a gift.
I wish I would meet more people like this who really make my day.
