As you many know from reading this, Kurt wasn't able to eat for about 11 or so days; a feeding tube supplied him with enough nourishment to keep him going.
So, on the day he was told he could have ice chips, his little corner of the world got a little brighter. The next day, when he was told he could have clear liquids, that little corner got a LOT brighter. Chicken broth never sounded so good.
And then there was the really neat part...
the gentleman from food service brought him 2 little containers of chicken broth, a Sprite, and some applesauce on a tray. This gentle man presented it to Kurt much as he would have presented the finest of culinary delights--he understood that to a kid that hadn't eaten in 11 or so days, this was quite a milestone. Kurt was beaming regardless of his weakened condition; he beamed even more as the presentations were made.
Chicken broth and applesauce never tasted so good.
This gentle man understood that food done right is food done well.
Bless him for that.
