The Kindness of a Late-Night Airport Pickup

"Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down."
~ Oprah Winfrey

I recently returned from a business trip that involved two flights on one day followed by two the following day to return home.  My last flight got me in past midnight.  A friend of mine graciously offered to pick me up at the airport.  When I exited the airport terminal, her husband was walking toward me to help me with my bags.  And when I got into their car, they had stopped to get my family and me donuts.  I thanked them both profusely and they acted as if it was no big deal.  I greatly appreciated their kindness and thoughtfulness.
