“If you have a word of encouragement, you
can do anything.”
~ Hilton Als
On a recent
evening at a pizza restaurant close to our home, a middle school-aged boy sat
at a table intently drawing on his placemat while at dinner with his
family. A couple sat close by at the
restaurant’s bar. The woman of the
couple walked over to the boy and complimented his drawing. She said that she had enjoyed watching him
draw and told him that he was very good.
When the couple finished eating and as they were walking out, the woman
stopped by the boy’s table again. “One
day, I’m going to say, ‘I saw that artist at a pizza place,’” she said. And with a big smile, she said goodbye.
