As Abilene taught Mae Mobley this truth, millions of readers and viewers of The Help absorbed the truth with tears of happiness and tears of sadness. The tears of sadness were because Mae Mobley's own mother was indifferent to the value of her daughter. The tears of happiness were because Abilene valued the life and spirit of Mae Mobley and shared that value each morning as she had the little girl repeat those words.
I want to repeat those words to myself each day. I would like to remind myself that I do have a warm and gracious heart for others. And I really do need to remind myself that I am smart and can think and figure things out pretty darn good. And I have to admit that I want to know that I am important. I'd like to be important to other people.
Value.
