People Like That...

This boy...this one boy has been on my mind for the past 2 days. My grandma and grandpa had him at their place a few weekends a month, so I got to see him. His name's Jason and he's now out in Alberta...I doubt I'll see him again. Anyways, he's a foster kid. House to house, that kind of deal. Can you imagine being in and out of bad homes, from one mom and dad to another and to top that off, he was born with one leg shorter then the other so he cant run, or jump or play like the other children...yet he is the happiest boy on earth. He has one of those smiles, you can't find anywhere else. Just brighten up the whole room. So funny and plain loving life, despite the crap he's been through, and is still experiencing!! Why do people out here, people with everything they could ever ask for mope around like their life sucks when really someone like little Jason would kill for a life like that. I am one of those that takes everything I have for granted. One little thing happens and my world is shaken up, when really I should take a step back and thank God for what I have because I am fortunate! Reality checks are necessary when you have everything you could want and more! So little Jason will forever be my role model. I will always look up to that little 9 year old's smile, and one day maybe he can teach me to smile like that.
