My Good Deed




Here's a fun, short video for you to watch today!  It concerns 'advice from dad'.

This past Mother's Day I was at the mall with son K, he needed a haircut and we had a few shopping errands to complete.  I was at the top of a crowded escalator when this mom in front of me went down it  leaving a daughter of about 7 years old behind, urging her to step on the moving stairs and follow.  She had an older daughter of about 9 years old descending with her.  They had gone halfway down when I decided the little one in front of me needed help.  So I took her arm and helped her to step on the moving stairs with me as I supported her.  She really wasn't ready to do this on her own yet.  As we got close to the bottom, I told her to take a big step off and she did so happily as I let go of her arm.  Her mom and sister were waiting gratefully at the bottom.  In fact the older sister looked at me as if I was a savior, with a joyous expression, if I try to describe it.  So that was my (very) good deed for the day!
