Robert Fulghum: Without realizing it, we fill important places in each other's lives. It's that way with a minister and congregation. Or with the guy at the corner grocery, the mechanic at the local garage, the family doctor, teachers, neighbors, co-workers. Good people, who are always "there," who can be relied upon in small, important ways. People who teach us, bless us, encourage us, support us, uplift us in the dailiness of life. We never tell them. I don't know why, but we don't.
And, of course, we fill that role ourselves. There are those who depend on us, watch us, learn from us, take from us. And we never know. Don't sell yourself short. You may never have proof of your importance, but you are more important than you think.

Awww. I like that story :)

And really? Someone ordered pizza in a parking lot?

Pizza Hut only delivers so far, so if you live out of their delivery range, then you'd have to meet the delivery guy at their furthest point. For those who live past my job, they come to our parking lot to pick up their pizza.

That's kind of neat.
