A Touching Story

About 2 years ago, my husband and I attended a network marketing meeting that dealt with financial services. The speaker was a multi million dollar earner. We sat in the second row at the meeting and we took copious notes while he spoke. There was a little girl on the front row that I saw with one of his staff. She was a pretty little girl who I assume was about 9 years old. Well the speaker began to speak about this little girl that he met in the elevator with her mom. He said that he told the little girl hello and she didn't respond to him so he said hello again, still no response. Then he whispered hello in her ear. Still he got no response so he thought she was ignoring him. One of his staff told him that the little girl was deaf and he was very hurt because he didn't know. The part that was so touching to me was that there was a surgery that the child could get but the parents couldn't afford it so what he did was paid for the entire surgery and hired someone to teach her sign language so now her hearing is coming back and she has her own teacher. When I heard this story, it brought tears to my eyes because he was so grateful to the little girl and her family and the mom was so happy.
