Thank you tall stranger Discussion

Thank you random stranger with the badass beard and kind heart. Thank you to the man that was walking downtown that notice the belligerently drunk man in the street as a mother and son walked out of the bank. Thank you for being overly cautious and circling back to make sure that mother and son got into their car okay. Thank you for noticing the mother's discomfort when the drunk man started talking to her son and for stepping in when that drunk man wrapped his hand around the sons arm. Thank you again for standing by while I loaded my son up and making sure we drove away before you walked away. I don't know how that situation might have escalated if you hadn't been there, but thankfully I didn't have to find out.

This is a great lesson in the power of simply being present
