Great Story

Description

This boy was at breakfast in my hotel with his dad and grandfather. They had Final Four gear on and briefly chatted with me. But their team (Texas A&M) didn’t quite make it that far. They wanted their son/grandson to experience March Madness firsthand, regardless, for obvious reasons. Shortly after finishing my breakfast, I went back upstairs to my room to get their boy a gift — “can’t be at a Final Four game without a team,” I told them. I brought back down and gave him one of my official Loyola scarfs, which he’s proudly wearing here in the photo. I told him that since he didn’t have a team tonight, we’d welcome him to the Ramblers Army... we’ll take all the help we can get, I said. They were ecstatic. They asked for a photo, so I got one too. A waitress came over after they left to say how nice I was to do that, and a woman who’d also watched and heard me, came over and grabbed my hand with tears in her eyes to tell me that “the world needs more kindness like I showed.”
