For the holidays I organized a group of people and we went caroling at a nursing home in downtown Philadelphia. The patients were mostly unable to leave their beds, and some of them asked to have their wheelchairs pushed into the hall so they could be closer to us.
I did a lot of traveling for New Year's, and as we were walking down the stairs to the tarmac to take a tiny plane, i noticed a lady struggling with her bag. I asked if she wanted a hand, and she gladly let me carry it down for her. When we got to the bottom she said "You know, when I was your age, I used to do that for people all the time". I said "Well thank you for allowing me to have my turn!"
