Paying it Forward

What an awesome story!!

Years ago I pulled a woman over for every vehicle registration violation there was. Expired everything and no insurance...you get the picture. Anyway, she started crying about having no money and going through chemo treatment. She said she was just coming home from the doctor's office and took off her wig as she told me. She said she had a few kids at home and no dinner for them. I gave her $20 and sent her on her way with obviously a stern warning to update everything. Well, months later I stopped the same car (took a few minutes to realize it) for the same reasons and now she had an active arrest warrant. I gotta say I was a little disappointed she did not remember me and for some reason I didn't remind her.

I love paying it forward when those little opportunities present themselves.
