We are so lucky to live in such a great community. Yesterday in the mail, we got a hand-addressed envelope from the City of Papillion. Wondering what in the world it could be, I opened it to find a letter from Mayor Black, the mayor of Papillion, congratulating us on the Heroes of the Heartland award and thanking us for allowing the community to be a part of Henry's story.
Then tonight, Tim and I, being lazy, decided we were too tired to cook dinner. We had some coupons to Qdoba, so that decided it for us! I happened to be wearing my Sammy's Superheroes t-shirt, and Angel, our cashier, commented on it. That prompted me to ask her if she happened to follow A Monster's Mission, and she said she did. When Tim told her that we were A Monster's Mission, she was so excited! She told us that she admired us and what we do. It may not seem like much, but it brought such a smile to my face! Here is this young lady, with I'm sure plenty going on in her own life, and she takes time to follow stories like ours and Sammy's. On the way out, we handed her one of our new bracelets, and she gave me a hug and said again how much she admired us.
We love interactions like this...it means Henry is living on and
continuing to touch lives. Again, it seems so simple, but to us it
means the world, and it's another reminder that the simplest of gestures
can make the biggest difference to any one person. So thank you Mayor
Black, and thank you Angel, for taking the time to share with us!
