Gryphon

I was almost going to skip this tonight because I am tired, but while I was folding a shirt from Valentine's Day that I wore, and it says "I'm a lover, not a fighter". It made me think of Gryphon because we were wearing the same shirt. It made me think about how sweet and quiet he is. So much so that he can easily go unnoticed. Except for the bullying. I've never witnessed the bullying, but his dad swears it is happening. Gryphon has long hair, so that is a constant spot of ridicule. However, I was struck with a thought of Friday. Everyone was working on their research projects. Everyone needed help or feedback. Including Gryphon. He kept raising his hand for me, kept calling out to me. And each time he did, I told him, "Just hold on, Gryphon. I'm trying to get to everyone." Just hold on, hold on, hold on. And he would just smile and politely say, "Ok, thank you." I didn't really think much of it until now. He was so patient, so understanding, and so appreciative when I finally got to him. I hope you understand and realize how much that quality lacks in not only the majority of kids, but in all humans.
