I read this story in Touched by an Inspiration. Every year, Motzei Pesach, a family in Staten Island would go with there grandfather (who lived in a different State) to get ice cream. One year, the grandfather was not feeling well. So the family went without him. By the ice cream store, while everyone was trying to figure out which flavor to get, the lady behind the counter asked about the grandfather’s absence. They told her that he was not feeling so good. They asked her how she remembered their grandfather. She replied that when people come to the store, they speak to her while looking down at the ice cream. But the grandfather always looked at her and treated her with respect. When the family came back home, they told the grandfather the story. Immediately, the grandfather got up and put on his coat. They asked him where he’s going. He replied, a person looks foward to me talking to them and I’m not well enough?
