Show Some Respect

When I was little and you saw a funeral procession, I was taught you pulled over and waited for it to pass.
This morning I attended the funeral of the mother of one of my very dear friends. As we drove from Bedford to the cemetery in downtown Fort Worth, I was surprised at first at how few people bothered to pull over. As we continued to drive and got to some of the smaller towns in between, more and more people were pulling over. Some did not even pull over, they simply stopped in the middle of the lane and waited for us to pass.
Is it because I live in a big city that it people don't do this anymore? Do people not know you are supposed pull over as a sign of respect? Next time you see a funeral procession, pull over. The five or ten minutes it takes you won't a difference, but it will mean something to that family. And one day it will mean something when someone does it for your family.
