"You too Hun"

As I got out of the "wubzy" this morning and was walking towards the building for an appointment I had, there was this cute older man standing next to his car with the door open that was parked right in front of the building in the handicap parking stall. His hair was a bit fluffy like my Dad's and he had that classic mustache, just like my Dad's too. He was all a smiles, with somthing in his hands. As I got closer to him he proceeded to tell me "it's my breakfast" I replied back to him saying "that looks like a yummy one!!" We both smiled and I then said to him "have a nice day" he then replied back " You too Hun." I said thanks and entered the building. Hun, this is a word that both my parents would say to me. "Hi Hun" was the most common.... To hear those words was comforting. I just thought to myself as I was waiting to go back for my appointment, I wish I could have gave that man a hug. He had no idea how he made me feel inside. Its the little things in life that make the biggest impact on someone. Even those small three words made my whole day. Yes, I had to hold back my tears because it made me miss my parents, but it also reminded me that they are with me at any given time.... I just need to be open to it.

I have tried my best to ask anyone that I come in contact with how they are doing, how their day was, or complement them on something... and I always will say, Have a nice day. Its fun to see them smile... you never know how a simple phrase can make someone feel good.

I hope to have many more little words or actions that brighten my day that also remind me, I'm not alone... my parents my not be here physically, but they are with me. Forever in my heart.

So to those who are reading this, I hope you have a nice day!! You are loved!! :]
