Respect for those who have left us
By Randy | June 27, 2007
The other day, I was thinking back to when I was a kid growing up in central Texas. I can remember riding with my grandfather one afternoon in his 1949 Ford. We were driving along Highway 21 towards San Marcos, Texas and I can remember a funeral procession of cars coming toward us from the opposite direction with their lights on. Grandpa pulled the car over to the side of the road, got out of the car, took his hand and covered his heart as the string of cars passed slowly by.
It’s called respect, folks. Something we don’t see a lot of anymore. In fact, at least in this area of the country, you are lucky if anyone pulls over at all, even with police lights blazing and speeding toward an emergency.
