I learned something last week

On the way to the cemetery after the funeral last week, I was surprised to find out that it almost angered me when people on the other side of the road would not stop for the funeral procession. Admittedly, I have been in that situation and been in a hurry and did not want to take the time to stop. That will never happen again. While life does have to go on, we should honor the departed and their family with a few moments of respect. On the flip side, it really touched my heart to see a man that was doing yard work on the side of the road stop and take his hat off until the procession had passed. It is amazing what small gestures will do.
