Christmas kindness

I love gruff old men that are soft at heart.  I went to get our two weeks worth of food... and the guy helping me saw that we had asked for a turkey.  He seemed like a stand offish kind of man, and not very openly friendly... but he got all concerned that we were getting a Christmas turkey without any of the dressings like yams, pumkin pie filling, olives, stuffing, etc... so this tough little old man revised my paper without thinking twice about it and I walked out with the unexpected gift of the love and concern of a little old man for a jobless family of four during the holiday season.  Whether I needed the dressings or not, I feel like I needed that love and am grateful for the service that he gave.
