He tried not to watch them, but they, she had given him hope. She had looked so sad so broken, but with her friends she had come out of her cocoon. She looked up at the stage from her friends and their eyes made contact for just a brief moment. He smiled at her not really being able to do anything else. It was his way of saying thank you. And she smiled back, one of those smiles that reaches up to your eyes. And her eyes sparkled, maybe it was the tears that had lined her eyes earlier, but he didn’t think so. In that brief moment that they had connected he felt better. Sure life was hard and it might get harder, but he knew that there was hope out there somewhere. He knew that in the future anytime that he needed feel that again all he would have to do would be to close his eyes and picture her smile and hope would return to him once again.
