Everybody is Somebody



Everybody is somebody says Frank. I will never forget the embrace when we parted. Two strangers, engaged in discourse and then just like that off I went. Frank stayed behind because he was waiting for his glasses. He said he would be there or hours. Its amazing how much you can find out about a person by just sitting next to them. And how sweet they can be for no reason. He was one of the sweetest people I have ever met in my life. And that hug, it will stay with me forever. Frank reminded me that everybody is somebody. And I added, because everybody has a story. Frank's story was heartfelt. He had diabetes that was eating away his vision and ate away his feet and legs. But he's alive he said. And thats all that matters. If only I could have this attitude. He seemed to have a care free attitude. For inspiring me to no end, Frank is my activist of the week.
