The Kindness of Becoming the Security Detail

"The simple act of caring is heroic."
~ Edward Albert

I recently traveled on an overnight trip with my daughters' school for a language competition.  Several parents, including one dad, rode with the girls on the bus to the competition site several hours away.  It was not easy keeping up with a large group of energetic teenagers and at one stop, a bunch of girls took off running (to Starbucks, no less) while we tried in vain to keep up.  The one dad took off running after them, determined to not let them out of our sight.  On our way back to the bus, this dad was still on duty, standing at the edge of the street we needed to cross to make sure everyone got back safely.
