A Wish for Every Child

I watched "The Help" again last night with a young friend who has not yet read the book or seen the movie, As I watched Aibileen with Mae Mobley, I  wished every child in the world had someone to tell them "You is kind. You is smart. You is important."



I remember telling a young man one day that I thought he was really smart.  He looked at me and told me "no one has ever said that to me before."  Made me want to weep.
