You hear a lot of stories around the holidays that are designed to elicit an emotional response - prefab "Hallmark Moments". But once in a while, you see the results of a graceful and unselfish gesture that really knocks you off your feet. So it has been for Carolyn Glaspy, the mother of former Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chris Henry, who lost his life in the early morning of Dec. 17, 2009 after a fall from a moving vehicle the day before.
Four people - Brian Polk, Donna Arnold, James Benton, and Thomas Elliot - are alive today because of the organ transplants that were made possible by his mother after Henry's passing. The embedded CBS Sports feature from this morning's Lions-Patriots pregame show begins with those four people and their families sharing a Thanksgiving table with Chris Henry's mom. And if that doesn't choke you up ... well, don't worry. There are many more opportunities to "get a little dust in your eye" as the seven-minute feature rolls along.
