Driving the Dream


On Sunday I was on my way to my daughter's house for dinner, stopped at a red light, when I saw the man in the car behind me get out of his car, leave the door open, and come running up to my door.  I was so shocked!  What did I do?  Did I cut him off?  Was my music too loud?  Did I have a flat tire?  I turned off the music, although I never like to cut Michael off in the middle of a song, and opened my window.
The man said "Where did you get your Michael Jackson bumper sticker?"
 Really???
I told him I had it custom made for me, and he wanted to know the name of the company.  I told him, but I wasn't sure if the guy who made them for me even still worked there.  As I was explaining this, the man had time to look at the inside of my car - the picture of Michael blowing me a kiss on my visor (it was a sunny day)  the string of pictures hanging from my visor, the quote card hanging from my radio knob.  I reached over and got an Ever After business card out for him.  I told him to call me and I can try to get a bumper sticker for him.   He said his daughter would love it, thanked me and ran back to his car.
Wow!!!!  I was soooo excited.  I know that whoever drives behind me must see Michael there, but I have never had anyone give me any kind of reaction before.
That was two days ago, and he hasn't called me.  Did he lose my card?  Or maybe I scared him with my Michaelmobile.  He might not want his daughter to talk to me!!  I'll keep you posted.
This is what I learned (again) from this.
Every little thing we do for Michael makes a difference.  So often I feel like I am not enough, that what I do for him is so small.   But it all adds up, and each of us DO make a difference in our own way.
