Anyway, on page 226, the author writes, "Inside is a homemade Christmas card. All the kids have drawn on it. Christmas trees, bright lights, and kids playing. Some of the drawings are shockers, but still excellent. Inside are the words, also written by one of the kids:
"Dear Ed,
have a happy christmas! we hope you also have some beautiful lights like the ones you gave us.
From all the Tatupu family"
It makes me smile and I stand up and go into the lounge room, where the kids are all sprawled out, watching the Telly." This part of the page shows that doing something simp,e for someone can make both people happy. Ed usually helps and doesn't get appreciated often. But when he helps the Tatupu family, it not only makes the children happy, it also makes him happy.
Also, on page 227, the author writes, ""No, Ed—you have to. You've given us so much. More than you'll ever know." He holds out the stone again and goes to the extent of putting it in my palm and closing my hand to hold it firmly." This shows that other people are grateful for the things that he has accomplished while being the messenger. Before Ed became the messenger, his mom and his passengers haven't respected I'm that he wanted. Because he had no one appreciate what he has done, this is all different to him.
Even though we don't usually focus on small details, but those tiny details can make a difference for not just another person, but for yourself.
(Pardon for the bad grammar for the letter that was shown. That was how it was in the book and I wanted to use it for my blog.)
