Makes Me Think - Today, I asked an elderly airport attendant where I could find the restroom. After showing me, he stared at me, smiled widely, and pulled me into an abrupt hug. I was startled and pulled away quickly. Then he said, “You remind me so much of my daughter whom I haven't seen in over a decade.” MMT - Today's Thought-Provoking Life Stories
