motherly instincts.

Sitting eating in a restaurant the other night, a little girl who was running around toppled on the ground, while her very sweet mother was buying a drink for a woman who sincerely asked her if she could spare just a soda or an iced tea. She began bellowing tears, and just knowing I had to, I immediately lifted myself from my seat, scooped her up into my arms consoling her, got her to her mother, and she stopped crying in an instant.
Seeing a little girl scared in any foreign place just knocks me down to size.
