She is one of those friendly girls who talks to you like she's known you for years even if she doesn't know your name.
She goes with her family to the Utah Jazz games and sits up in the box. Every time they go, she says hello and how are you doing to the usher girl, not thinking anything of it.
The last time they went to a Utah Jazz game, she did the same. Hello. How are you. Hope you have a merry Christmas.
The usher girl broke down crying.
You've been such a friend to me, she said. You have no idea. Thank you.
Everyone says, "You never know the impact you could have." And yeah, sometimes that's true. Sometimes you'll go through life never knowing what impact you made in someone's life.
But it's the times when you do know--when you figure it out somehow--that make a difference. Because when we have those times, or see other people have those times, that's when we realize that people do notice us; that people do care. I guess it all goes back to what the Dollar Giver said a couple weeks ago: people just need each other.
So accept it when people try to fill your needs, and then try to fill others'. We're all just a bunch of Needers, after all.
