When we arrived,12 without thinking, I gave him a big hug. “You gave an old man a little moment of 13. Thank you!” He said with tears in his eyes.

    I was completely lost in thought for the rest of the day. What would happen if I had refused to do14 I did? We always think that there are no 15 moments in our lives, but great moments are just in what others may think small and unimportant ones!
