This young man had a friends hangout today, and one of the unfortunate realities of the world happened to him… no one showed up. My wife is friends with his mom, and she called me to tell me she was going to hang out with him and his family. I told Lucia that I would come over with anything she told me to get, I said I would even paint his face, but I promised I would make him feel like a king! She sent me the address and away I went. He said he wanted to be a dragon, and I gotta say, I have never painted a dragon…. EVER!! He smiled the whole time, and we threw a football around after, but the greatest gIft I could have given him, my artistic ability, ended up being the greatest gift he could have given me which was his joy!
