Tonight I transformed the face of C into “THE HULK”. He changed drastically tonight almost as much as he has changed in the last few years. He is no longer the little boy I still want him to be yelling “ BANG” while shooting his toy gun. C grew up on the street behind me. Our families enjoyed many fun days, weeks and years together. The old saying - IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD – comes to mind. C’s mom and I spent many hours being what we called “YARD DOGS”. We would sit outside our homes and watch our children play. We all had something different to contribute. One of my contributions was painting the faces at Halloween. C’s family moved a few years ago. Although we are not as close as we once were our families would run into each other every now and then. Tonight C called and wanted me to paint his face for the Senior Class Halloween Party. It seems unreal that he will be graduating this year. I was more than happy to paint his face. Never under estimate that what you are doing is important, it might be just what someone needs.
