What a wonderful story. It just reminds me how much a simple gesture on our part can have long lasting ramifications. We may consider it a small thing, but to another it can mean the world. God bless and thanks for sharing that.

Sweet story ... there are still folks like Mr. Miller in this world. In Oak Ridge, TN, the owner of the town's favorite pizza place was a BIG man who had been in the special forces in the military. He hired high school kids to work in his pizza place. They had to meet a certain grade point average to work there, and he checked their report cards. After Big Ed died, people found out that he had very quietly and without fanfare, sent many, many kids to college. Good man.
