Major NSV!

My walk started out like all the rest. Me, a couple of the neighborhood kids, just going around the loop as usual. Then, as we came to the point where the lap ends, they all left and I continued on by myself. This almost always happens, too. Anyway, on that second lap, I passed this house.
A man was outside, posting up some political sign on his mailbox. I was almost past the house and gone, but he said "Hey, I want to tell you something."

So in all politeness, I said "Yes?"
And then he continued on to tell me that I was an inspiration to his mother and sister; that whenever they visit they always see me walking or riding my bike, and that I inspired them to go on walks too. He said one day he hopes they're over and I pass by so they can tell me themselves.

I almost burst with joy! I know that sounds so cliche, but I can't help it! It's the truth!
That comment pretty much just made my whole week!
