Lollipop Moments

I wanted to take a moment to share a story.

A few days before Hunter got home for his mini vacation, I received a package in the mail.  It was full of goodies and art from a person that I've never met.  This wonderful lady send me a "thank you" for being so NICE to her.  Long story short, she was a newbie on our trading card site and she was too nervous to join my newest swap because she was inexperienced and didn't know what others would think of her art.  First, let me tell you that her art was amazing.  Second, we've all felt that way and I wasn't being nice, I was being me.  But she touched my heart by taking the time to send something to show her appreciation.  That doesn't happen anymore.  I'm just as guilty of everyone else, but now I'll try harder.

Fast forward to Hunter and my trip to IKEA.  It was a few days later and we'd been shopping all day.  As we were leaving the self check, Hunter stopped at the desk, thanked the women for helping us and told her to have a wonderful day.  I giggled and told him that he'd become much more polite since he left for school.  He told me it was a Lollipop Moment.  It got us talking about the nice stranger who send me the package.  So when we got in the car, Hunter played me an audio of the following video.  He was lucky enough to see him in person, I had to settle for the YouTube version.  Touching, just the same.

Hunter and I both took a lot from it.  I'm hoping you do too.  You never know what someone else is going through.
