I know you've probably inspired a few readers to pay it forward in their own lives; whether that be by simply holding a door or helping a neighbor. <br />We all should be so lucky to be able to recongnize and respond to those situations in our lives when we can help others.Shellyrm ~ just a country runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03822262051285512641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324004974797989962.post-12349801459451126012010-10-07T14:33:57.304-07:002010-10-07T14:33:57.304-07:00So tell me the truth - you got a bit of a buzz out...So tell me the truth - you got a bit of a buzz out of helping her didn't you?

You guys are awesome! I especially like the pa...Aw! You guys are awesome! I especially like the part where Traci went in to get her the bread. Very sweet. <br /><br />Here's the short version of a less serious, but similar day in the life of me. We lived in Regina at the time, but were in Saskatoon for a wedding. We were leaving the morning after the wedding to head back to Regina and witnessed an elderly lady trip on the sidewalk and fall literally on her face. She broke her glasses and was bleeding. No one else stopped! We stopped to help her and found out she was heading to a nearby hospital to visit her sick husband (reminds me of your story) after church. Aw! She looked like she needed stitches, so we loaded her in the van and took her into Emergency. Once she was in good hands, we left (without giving our names or getting hers). Several months later, I'm reading the Regina Leader Post and come across a letter to the editor. I say to Dean, hey, I think this is us. She had detailed the incident and said she was looking for the young (I actually was young once) couple to thank them. My Mom called the newspaper and they wouldn't release any information. Since she lived in a small town, I sent a letter to her general delivery, which she received. I have received a Christmas letter every year from her since. Earlier this year, her husband passed away and I saw the obituary in the newspaper. It was then that I learned her maiden name and realized that she was actually my friend's Aunt. Small world! Very sweet lady! And so glad we were at the right place at the right time. Thanks for your story, since it reminded me of my warm and fuzzy too. <br /><br />You guys are good people. <br /><br />P.S. Nice choke job Traci. Must have been a pretty big mouthful. Haha! And congrats on the Thanksgiving order.
