This year I did not go all out on Halloween decorations, because I knew I was blacklisted by the neighborhood.
I still put on a good show for those that wanted to come.
I was happy to see one pretty little cowgirl on her own; two brothers with a parent who works in the neighborhood; and the one kid who would make my night.
It does not matter if I had 30 kids or 3 show up.
What matters is, I always get to meet the one kid who says something that makes me think the whole world will be OK because they are in it.
I knew it would be a quiet door tonight so I gave each child 2 bags of candy, and this one special kid asked, " Do you have more bowls of bags?"
He was worried I would run out. I told him there is plenty for everyone.
I hope this kid runs for president one day.
Happy Halloween 2022!
