At first, I couldn’t figure out why and how these characters even knew we were there in the sea of people, but then I saw the man…the Disney employee…who had made sure this happened [see photos].
We never asked him or acted like we wanted to be in line. He did this, on his own, just seeing these two girls in their chairs, and he knew what it would mean to them…and to us.
I remember naturally glancing over the long line of people waiting, who now would have to wait longer, and feeling a bit guilty and worried about the looks. But do you know what I saw…I saw only smiles, from the parents and from the kids…and some parents whispering to their children, probably explaining ‘these girls need to see the Doc right now…before we do.’
I don’t think anyone noticed, but I had to drop my head and hide and hold back the tears coming. The emotions were taking over, for the first and only time during our trip. I thanked this kind and compassionate man but didn’t get his name.
The employee in question was quickly identified as Roberto Sierra. Facebook users who knew the man chimed on the viral Facebook post to sing his praise. It was no surprise to any of them that Roberto was at the center of this random act of kindness.
Naysayers may proclaim that Roberto was just doing his job, but a kind and considerate heart is all that we can see. If only we all could make the effort to serve instead of seeking recognition. What a wonderful world it would be, and can become!
