The Kindness of a Warm Greeting

"Let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love."
~ Mother Teresa

The other day, we ran into one of my children's First Grade teachers.  She was at the same restaurant where we were having dinner.  I told my son to go and say hello, but he really did not need the encouragement.  Every time that we see his former teacher, she greets him with a big smile and seems excited to see him.  She asks how he is doing -- all this even though he has not been at the school where she teaches for more than three years.  I know that her warm greeting makes him feel special and remembered.
