Sometimes you just happen to have a special connection with certain people. Chuck is one of those people for me. He’s my librarian in Nashville. There are many reasons why I love going to the library, and Chuck is one of them. I always look forward to seeing his smiling face. He knows me by name and never fails to greet me with a warm-hearted wave each time I visit the library. Chuck knows about my life and always asks about my family members. At one point we even learned that we share the same birthday, October 14th. We’re separated in age by several decades, but we have developed an interesting friendship, nonetheless.
He’s not rich or famous, and probably won’t receive any lifetime achievement awards. But Chuck has made a difference in my life. Chuck’s not just any librarian. He’s my librarian.
There’s no other way to say it—Chuck makes me feel special. I hope I can be like him.
