Helping the neighbor with his roof without being asked

Saw him struggling with repairs and just showed up one Saturday with some of the guys from church. Didn't make a big deal about it. That's what men do for each other. You look out for your community. He tried to pay me and I wouldn't let him. We just grabbed a beer after and moved on. This is how things used to work.

This is gentlemans code at its finest. No fanfare, no asking for thanks, just seeing a need and stepping in. More dads need to think like this.

Love this. Did your boys get involved in helping too? That's the kind of thing that teaches more about being a good man than any lecture ever could.

The church crew showing up is solid. Community over individuality. Bet your neighbor won't forget that.

This is what it's about right here. Showing up for your neighbors without needing recognition or being asked. Your kids are watching you do the right thing and that matters more than anything you could tell them.
