wisps of people.

so the 1A (one of the assistant managers) at my QT is moving to another store quite unexpectedly. his name is ben and me and him always got along really well and i always loved working with him so its sad to see him go, but as i was thinking about it i realized that i will probably never see him again (hes moving to a store far away) and that was a weird thought.  someone who before was a stranger, came into my life, we developed a relationship and as quickly as it began it is going to end.  it got me thinking about how many people in life do we come across that we will never see again.  if this is the case we only have 1 shot to leave an impression on someone, will we use this time span no matter how short it is to the best of our abilities or just let it pass?  i wonder (and hope) that my working with ben may have left some sort of impression on him, that he may have seen God's love through me, because my time with him is over.  he is leaving my life just as he entered it and here i am wondering if i used the time to help another human or just to be a robot employee without a real heart and love for his coworkers.  when you meet someone, you never know how long that relationship will last.  don't wait til its too late, make an impression and make that person wonder whats different about you. just something to think about.
