Today's word is notice.
GO.
Did you notice them?
They were in Wal-Mart today - the elderly couple. He was wearing a cap that said "Korean War Veteran",and a windbreaker with a small American flag pinned to one lapel. There was a little Korean flag pinned to the other.
She was in a wheelchair. He was walking straight and tall, and pushing her. She pushed the shopping cart. Quite a sight.
Occasionally he would rest one hand on her thin shoulder, and she would put up her hand to touch his.
Did you see them in the canned-food aisle? He was trying to reach something on the top shelf, when a young, tattooed homie walked past.
The gangbanger stopped, turned, and then took down what the veteran needed. Then he pushed the cart through the store for them. He called the veteran "sir", and called his wife "ma'am".
Did you notice them?
Did it give you hope?
STOP
