This is one of those 'oh my gosh I love small towns' posts.
Mom is 89. The town she lives in has grown to nearly 60,000 in population, but stories like this remind me that no matter how big a population grows, humanity still shows it's kindness.
Mom recently drove to the bank. Yes, she still drives. Not much mind you - my brother and I are in charge of putting fuel in her tank and we do it every 3 months-ish.
She limits the roads she drives and the hours she heads out, and this post isn't about elderly driving. It IS about the kindness of strangers.
So, mom was at the bank and she experienced a little 'car trouble.' Before she could even rationalize the next steps a kind gent came over to help. Then another came. And another.
Seven kind men ended up helping mom. I'm sure it was quite the sight as this newly formed 'team' helped mom out. When all was fixed they lined up and waved mom on as she drove out of the parking lot.
Now THAT's a cool story. To the 7 gentlemen from Aurora that helped mom out - kudos to you!
Feeling grateful,
Louise
My mom
Can't help but think of something like this. Hee hee
