| This is special...stay with it.
Here's a truly heartwarming story about the bond formed between a little 5
year old girl and some construction workers that makes you
believe that we CAN make a difference when we give a child the gift of our
time...
A young family moved into a house, next door to a vacant lot. One day a
construction crew turned up to start building a house on the
empty lot.
The young family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all
the activity going on next door and spent much of each day
observing the workers. Eventually, the construction crew, all of them
gems-in-the-rough, more or less adopted her as a kind of
project mascot. They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they ;
had coffee and lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there
to make her feel important. At the end of the first week... they even
presented her with a pay envelope containing a couple of dollars. The
little girl took this home to her mother who said all the appropriate
words of admiration and suggested that they take the two dollar "pay" she
had received to the bank the next day to start a savings account. When they
got to the bank, the teller was&nbs p;equally impressed and asked
the little girl how she had come by her very own pay check at such a young
age. The little girl proudly replied, "I worked last week with
the crew building the house next door to us. "My goodness gracious," said
the teller, "and will you be working on the house again this week, too?"
The little girl replied, "I will if those assholes at Home Depot ever
deliver the fucking sheet rock..."
Kind of brings a tear to the eye.
