Thanks for the Smile.

We all have those days when we need a little something. When we can't get out of bed. When we can't bear to face the day and all of its monsters. When a smile or a kind word from a stranger can mean the world.

My smile came not from a person but from a memory. I came across the wonderful drawings that a certain almost-12-year-old-girl had drawn for me last May. Her name is Rachel. She is good friends with our Rachel. She is one of my favorite people. That says it all.
