Doing the right thing

So I just had a really cool experience. You will need some background first that is not easy to admit but essential to the story. A few months ago Jeremy and I took Baileigh to the circus, we had parked on the street because I am too cheap to pay for parking instead of walking a few hundred extra feet, it was dark and there were no street lights, we all go into the car to leave and as I backed up a little to pull out I felt a bump, I said oh no and thought I had hit the curb, I got out to look at my car and discovered it was even worse, I had hit another car!! I looked at the other car and while I did not see any damage, there was some paint transfer from my car onto their front bumper. I got into my car and got a piece of paper to write a note with my name and phone number in case they thought there was any damage but as I finished writing the note the people walked up to the car, it was a man, his wife, and their daughter. I got out and explained what happened, we looked at the cars and agreed their was no damage, I gave him the note anyways and said if they saw anything in the morning when it was light to give me a call. He and his wife seemed amazed that I had stuck around and she even said, but you could have just drove away, I said that was true but it wouldn't be the right thing to do. I never heard from them again until today, when I answered my phone and the man said who he was I thought for sure that he was calling months later to claim he saw some damage from the incident and just as I was thinking that I always seem to get screwed for doing the right thing he told me he was just calling to let me know that he had come across my note and felt compelled to call and again tell me how impressed he was with myself and my family and that it makes him feel good to know there are people like us out there who still do the right thing. I was blown away, it really made my afternoon to know he took time out of his life to call me and thank me just for doing the right thing.
