Chat: You never know Who'll you Meet

[Guest guest]

It takes time to learn lessons in life. But, I can guarantee - over

the years - I have learned that you should always be nice to people

you are unfamiliar with - as you never know who you might meet.

Today, I took the boys to the & Noble book store. We hadn't

been there since this summer and they love to play with the trains

and read the books (well, Ian likes to take all the books off the

shelves LOL). Anyway, a woman and what turned out to be her

daughter were looking for a " special " book. Well, the talkative

person that I am - mentioned some of my favorites....Little Woman,

Jane Eyre, Secret Garden to name a few. We got to talking and the

younger woman said - " are these two boys yours " ? She pointed to

and Ian and I said yes. She asked how old was

and I said he just turned four. I got the usual - " Oh - he's really

big for his age " (most people think he's 6!) Then she asked about

Ian. I said the usual - he's 2.5 - but, he's small for his age. He

has a rare syndrome....Then she said " Silver Syndrome? " I

almost fell over! I said YES! How did you know? Well, apparently,

her sister-in-law (I won't name names - but, hopefully will

recognize this brief interview <grin>) has a son I think she said

around the age of 5 or 6 who has RSS. Apparently they are

incredibly active with MAGIC and she proudly made comments about how

well-versed they were and all the research her sister-in-law has

done on the " subject " . I gave her my name and phone number to pass

on. I was surprised but very happy. They were both very nice

individuals. I could have talked to them for hours.

Moral of the story: Always be nice - you'll never know who'll you

meet that may have a friend or relative of RSS!!! LOL

Have a nice evening everyone.
