For the past month or so, Louis Jordan, 35, has been going to pick up his mother almost every afternoon at her job in downtown Houston at the city's Solid Waste Management department after working a full day himself at UPS. As he waits for his mother, Vernette Botts, Jordan also began noticing an elderly woman, "Miss Michelle," waiting for the METRO Lift, a free paratransit service, to pick her up and take her home. The lift has typically been late and the weather has been typically hot. So, since April, he has been shielding Miss Michelle from the sun with an umbrella he stashed in his car. But on April 27, something about this ritual was a little different. A police officer entered the scene, watching Jordan as he approached Miss Michelle. He later told Botts that he wasn't sure if her son was going to snatch the elderly woman's bag and he wanted to keep an eye on things. Jordan's mother took out her cell phone, both taking a picture for future evidence, if need be, while also capturing her son's simple act of kindness. She posted the photo -- of her son, Miss Michelle and the police officer -- on her Christian ministry Facebook page, writing "My Samaritan Son." The image has since gone viral and now, Jordan is being hailed a hero.
