The Kindness of Capturing the Big Moment

"You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you."
― John Bunyan

A dear friend of mine (a move-a-body friend if ever there was one) went to New York to celebrate his 50th birthday.  Last Saturday, he and several college buddies went to a bar that they frequented in their youth.  One of his female friends was accompanied by her boyfriend, who -- in a complete surprise move -- got down on one knee and proposed.  This only added to the celebration.  There was a group of guys at the table next to them cheering during the proposal and wondering what celebration would be next.  (One of them asked if there would be a baby shower, too.)   As that group was leaving, one of them approached my friend's table.  He said that he had taken some good photographs of the proposal and would be happy to send them via e-mail.  A lovely kindness from a stranger.
