August 27, 2015 The Little Things That Matter Most
“Once, Hassan mentioned in passing that he was going to be in a theatre performance at school. He said, ‘No big deal, but you can come if you want.’ I had a busy week at work, but couldn’t stop myself from watching him perform. It was an experience I will never forget. When he came out on that stage, I saw his eyes begin to scan the auditorium, seat by seat, row by row, until at last he saw me, realized that I had cared enough to be there for him, and he smiled. I didn’t appreciate that it could mean the world to him. And it wasn’t until the performance ended that I realized that each and every other child there had someone clapping for them, waiting for them afterwards to say, ‘great job!’ And as we walked out of the auditorium together, I found that I was that person - and I thought, how would he be feeling right now had I not been there?”
