I never realized how much our kind words, gestures, or even a smile means to someone. I remember a little girl I used to know. When we met, she carried a plastic rose that she would play with endlessly. One day she told her mom that she wanted me to have it.

The rose was worn out, but I loved it because it was a true gift from this little girl's heart. I was surprised that she have me the rose because she was not a big talker. If I noticed that she got new shoes, I mentioned it to her. I made it a point to ask her daily how her day was. I would also told her how she pretty was. Most of the time she would just smile or answer with a short answer conversation.

Every time I look at that worn out rose, I think of that little girl and how a few short interactions made an impact on her. You never know how your reactions will make people feel. 

Just wanted to share.
