One
day about eight years ago in the departure lounge (休息室) of a flight from New
York's LaGuardia airport to O'Hare in Chicago, I found a young boy in tears and
his mother at his side also appeared upset, I walked to them and invited them
to our VIP lounge.
As
it turned out, the boy, Miles and his mom were returning to their home in
Kansas City. Miles has had some health problems. Though he had received more
than thirty operations in a Jewish Hospital in New York, he would be back for
more.
Miles
enjoyed spending his time in our VIP lounge looking at the entire wall filled
with the pictures of many celebrities (名人) who often came to our office. We soon
added Miles' picture to the wall among those celebrities.
Among
the celebrities, Miles like the country singer Garth Brooks best. Miles would
just sit and stare at Garth's picture,
One
day, Mr. Brooks was waiting in the lounge for his flight. As he looked at the
collection of photographs, Garth asked about the youngster with the big smile.
We told him about Miles. We also told him how much Miles loved and respected (尊重) him. He nodded and
left.
About
six months later, Garth was going to be performing in Kansas City and he asked
our workers to help him get in touch with the family. He wanted Miles to be his
guest. That evening, not only did Miles sit in the front row, but he and Garth
also had a private meeting after the performance.
Although
Miles would receive many more treatments after that special evening, his smile
greeted us with every following visit. The face of a sick boy was changed by
the joy of a stranger.
