Today, I saw a familiar person who was sitting at the bench outside the public toliet where I bought my art students for outdoor drawing, we were drawing the laundry shop which located just beside the toliet. Yes, it was Uncle Henry, I observed him a little moment while my students were still drawing. He was caring for himself applying cream on his arms... I was wondering the walking stick belonged to him or the other elderly who was sitting next to him... Next few mintues, my students exclaimed they'd finished their drawings and I was goging to walk them around with their handmade lanterns, as promise. I decided to walk to the toliet direction and greet a long time no see Uncle Henry!
"Uncle Henry! How are you??" He saw me and started to recognize me and responded me back by another "Hello!"
Then I introduced him my students and adsked them to greet him and told him about I was having holiday workshop with my students here and he was just smiling, I said goodbye to himas I had work to do... Then i carried on my walk with my little students and one of them (Regan) asked, "Teacher Esther, who is him???" I told him, "He is a friend, a very nice person..."
From the distance, I saw him looking at our direction, I was thinking, will I see Uncle Henry again? Did he really recognize me when I greeted him? He looked like he had been retired from his security guard job. I hope everything goes well on his side :)
I never know I would meet him again but I know this man helped me and my students at the Maplewoods condo before with his kind heart :)
