Growing up a son of a Navy Seal and a Physician Assistant, over the years I have seen me dad do all kinds of things for people he knew and total strangers. He says, “you try to do what you can, when you can”. My family has been blessed to be able to go to Disney World 7 times since I was 8, and most recently we have gone 5 times in the last five years.
In these last 5 years, I have help people carry things onto the buses to go back to the hotels, people in wheel chairs get onto buses, etc. But I think the most menerable of the times we went was when my whole family was able to go, along with my wifes mom. We have my two children who were 2&3 along with us. People would come up to my dad while he was in the EVC (I think that is what it is called) and thank him for what he did for our country in the service. Man I think that made his day. On this same trip we were at Epcot and were walking and I just ask my daughter if she wanted and ice cream and she said yes, there was a line starting to form and at the back of this line there was a couple that had a young girl they were carrying around and she was crying. They couldn’t figure out why she was crying, so I could hear them ask what should we get water or ice cream, and the father said well we can get her some water for now, by this time the little girl was screaming, you could tell she was just tired and needed rest so, I brought her and ice cream and water, gave it to the girl and walked away, I could hear the parents say thank you, you didn’t have to do that, and I just let my parents deal with the thank you’s, my dad came to me and said that was a nice thing you for that little girl and the family, why did you do it and I said(with tears starting to come), Because I can’t stand to see these kids cry in the happeiest place on earth, and “you try to do what you can, when you can”.
