You hit the nail on the head.
A lot of people may never understand that feeling, maybe it is something we are taught down here, but when you're in a car in uncomfortable clothes, grieving your heart out, there is something very touching and comforting in seeing the respectful people pull over and wait until we pass by.
There's a special place in heaven for those compassionate enough to do this.
