so there i was...#5

so there I was at chic-fil-a watching through the window as my kid played hide&seek tag with what seemed to be her best friends in the whole world. Best friends that she'd known for all of about 15 minutes; friends of all shapes and sizes; friends with bowl cuts, braids and faux-hawks; friends who were nearly heartbroken when it was time for everyone to go. Through this window I saw hope for a future greater than now in a world where this kind of playground acceptance of open arms and open hearts will be the world that not only they know, but that we all know.
