My wife is a great one!

Many now know that she was kind enough to stay in Florida for a few extra days so that I could spend the weekend hanging out with the SC movement...I'm not sure how much of that was actually for me though.

Today, she called and was telling me about her Wal-Mart experience. She was in line with our daughter getting a couple of things they needed and there was an old man in front of her with a cane and and WW-II Veteran hat on. He was fumbling around through his pockets and trying to use a card that wasn't working as debit or credit. He then hobbled over to the ATM to see if his card would work there. He maintained that it was supposed to have been loaded a couple of days ago. The ATM wouldn't do anything for him either. He then sat down on a bench and began calling someone to bring him the extra money he needed to get his groceries.

At that point, my wife asked the clerk what the bill was. It was only $12 or so. She said, I hope you don't mind(speaking ot me) but, I went ahead and paid the rest of his bill. She just didn't see how it was fair for a man, that age, with his sacrafices to have to go without. I was floored!! My day had been a huge pile of #### up to that point and, that story changed the whole course of my day! She made me so proud by doing that and I hope that old man got a smile out of it too.

After telling her how proud I was of her and wiping tears from my eyes, the only other thing I could tell her was that I wouldn't have cared if she paid his whole bill.

May be meaningless to some but, it sure made my bad day a LOT better!
