On a road trip to California’s breathtaking North Coast region, my husband Ken and I, my teenage daughter Lahre, and my nine-year-old son Shawn, stopped to have lunch and stretch our legs a bit.

As we walked toward the ______ entrance, a man with an untidy beard and dirty hair jumped up from a nearby bench and opened the door for us. An old bike ______ with a sleeping bag and the rest of his ______ rested against the bench, it was obvious that he was ______. But regardless of his ______, he greeted us as if we were his best friends, “Today’s soup and sandwich special’s a great deal.”

Once inside, my teenager whispered to me, “Mom, he ______.” And Shawn asked questions about him, not quite understanding the ______ of a homeless person. Ken and I explained the best we could, telling the kids to look to the person underneath and within ______ the dirt and smell.

With the windiest part of our trip just ______ us, the kids needed to take car-sick pills so I went back to the car to fetch them. As I ______ the front door, the “doorman” was opening it for an older couple, who rushed past him and didn’t even acknowledge his ______. I let the couple ______ first and then said a loud and gracious “thank you” to the doorman.

After going back inside, I asked our waitress, who was bringing the kids their dessert, to ______ one soup and sandwich special to our bill. Both the kids looked at me ______ ---as we had already eaten but Ken knew exactly what I was doing.

By this time, we had to get back on the road to stay on schedule. As we rounded the comer of the very full restaurant, the “doorman” was sitting at a table enjoying his ______. When seeing me, he jumped up and ______ his hand for a handshake. It was then that I ______ he had tears in his eyes—tears of gratitude.

____ we can’t choose many things in life, we can choose when to show gratitude, and I was doing just that. Hopefully, when someone opens a door for Lahre and Shawn during their ______ through life, they will remember to say “______“ and have a great soup and sandwich special on the menu, too.
