Waiting to ask for forgiveness

Rabbi Moshe Feinstein spotted that there was a young boy sitting in his seat in Shul and asked the child to move. Fearing he had offended the boy, he immediately enquired as to his name and where he lived. Six years later, he made sure he attended the boy’s barmitzvah and made sure he asked him for forgiveness as soon as he reached the barmitzvah age of halachic maturity.
