While I sat in the reception area of my doctor's office, a woman rolled
an elderly man in a wheelchair into the room and 'parked' his chair
right next to me.

As she went to the receptionist's desk to 'check in', the man sat there
all alone, and silent.

Just as I was thinking I should try to make some small talk with him, a
little boy slipped off his mother's lap from across the room, and walked
over to the wheelchair.

Placing his little hand on the man's, he
said....

"I know how you feel. My mom makes me ride in the stroller sometimes
too."
