Dignity and pride do not necessarily mean a person is successful and wealthy. This elderly Honduran woman just caught my attention. Yes, her face is worn from many years of hard work and hot sun but I couldn’t help but be drawn in by her demeanor. She was a symbol of dignity and elegance, a picture of hope in a third world community that seems to have so little hope. Her glasses accentuated her look. Her dress was impeccably clean without any wrinkles or stains. She never smiled or broke character.
She just turned her head and looked at me as if we had met many times before. It was like meeting my grandmother whom I never really knew.
