By the end of the yesterday, I was emotionally exhausted and my heart was aching. My car was parked a few blocks away. I was hoping the stroll and fresh air would help clear my head. I noticed a short, white-haired man carrying a camouflage backpack walking ten feet in front of me.
On the other side of the street, there was a group of young guys doing skateboard tricks and hanging out. The white-haired man said hello as he passed them, glanced back at me and continued moving forward.
As I reached the street corner, he looked back again. I was about a foot away from the skaters dudes when the white-haired man asked, “You okay?”
“Yes”, I answered. I was so touched by his kindness that I immediately felt a lump in my throat and my eyes started to burn.
