These iron workers are working on the Yawkey Center take names on a daily basis from names taped to the window of a cancer treatment center. They spray paint them to the I beams that are hoisted up to construct the frame of the 14 story building. Each time they add a new name, the children staying in the windows cheer and clap. This amazes me and just gives such a sense of hope. These men are on a dead line. They're pushed to work, work, work. They need to have so much done by a certain time. Not only that, but in this day and age, there is such a sense of apathy among much of the human race. It's so easy for each of those men to turn their backs on those kids and just go about their business, do their job, and go home. No, they don't. They choose to make a difference. They choose to make a small gesture that equates into such a huge gesture to these kids. With a can of spray paint, $2.50, they give these kids something to smile about, something to talk about, something to remember for the rest of their lives.
