The Moments That Take Your Breath Away

I never thought I would be reduced to tears in a Best Buy store.  But it happened.  I was standing in the customer service line along with 4 or 5 other people and one man in military fatigues.  There was a little boy probably 2 years old in a camo jacket looking intently at the soldier.  Another man walked over to the soldier and shook his hand and thanked him for his service.  After seeing a lot of people behaving badly recently, this was a welcome change.  The little boy kept looking at the soldier and his Father noticed.  The Father says: "that's pretty cool huh?  The little boy shakes his head yes.  The Father then says "maybe we should shake his hand and thank him."  The  boy seemed a little timid so the Father shook the soldiers hand.  Then this little 2 year old walks up to the soldier and puts out his hand, never taking his eyes off of the soldier.  It was the most moving moment I have witnessed in a long time.  That was my Merry Christmas moment.
