Sometimes the simplest gestures can have the most impact on people.
My dad's funeral procession.
I glanced out the window of the limosine, and saw a man standing on the sidewalk watching the procession approach. As the hearse passed him, he took off his hat and placed it over his heart.
I don't know who that man was, but I wish I did. So I could thank him.
Because ten years later that simplest of gestures still brings tears to my eyes.

A perfect example of "common courtesies" that just aren't common any longer, and more's the pity. A lot of our issues in this country could be resolved easily if people only paid attention to these "little things" that make life so much easier and SO much more pleasant. Just my opinion...
I am SOOO there with you on this one. See today's post--Band Concert...
