The Kindness of a Door Opened

"And as I've gotten older, I've had more of a tendency to look for people who live by kindness, tolerance, compassion, a gentler way of looking at things."
~ Martin Scorcese

Recently, my children and I met up with another family for an evening frozen yogurt outing.  As I walked to my car, I realized that my friend's teenage son was walking with me.  This is, of course, the young man who is an amazing door opener.  (I have written about his once scaling a bush to open my car door.)  And his accompanying me to the car was to do just that.  It had been a while since I had gotten the royal door-opening treatment and it was greatly appreciated.
