So tonight my daughter and her best friend wanted me to take them to a musical at our local Las Vegas Arts Academy. We just finished watching the production of Guys and Dolls.
We have been attending these plays and musicals over the last four years and we are always amazed at the talent these young artists have.
The couple sitting in front of us were celebrating there 60th wedding anniversary and visiting from Detroit.
The gentleman shared his story of their first date in New York and that they watched the original production of Guys and Dolls on Broadway.
I was not only blessed with the night out with my daughter and her friend but by this stranger who wanted to share his story.
I'm always looking at art in my every day and this musical certainly was a work of art. The costumes and sets were colorful and creative as were all the actors.
What a perfect Friday evening in my city of lights.
There is nothing more kind than giving an ear to older people who want to share a story. For that matter, there is nothing kinder than just listening. It isn't as common as we may think.
