Strangers’ Small Acts That Changed Lives Forever: Stories That Will Restore Your Faith in Humanity
My wife got into the driver’s seat and I started pushing the car to get it off the ramp and onto the main street where there would be room to be fully out of the flow of traffic. The ramp was going slightly uphill through and it was slow going.
A car pulled up behind us and a sixty-ish man got out and came up to help. Then another car pulled behind his and a younger teenage guy came and helped. We quickly got the car off the ramp and onto the side of the road.
I shook their hands and they went back to their cars and took off.
On a really s****y day, heading to a funeral, hours of driving, my car up and dying on me several states from home, those guys showing me some kindness is something I’ll always remember.
The car was shot by the way. Needed a new engine. Literally a month after the warranty ended. Bad times.
Luckily my Father In Law was going to the same funereal and was able to come to our rescue.
I told my son Lucky Charms was Saturday cereal and an older lady walking by laughed and said they used to call it that too.
We talked about what cereals were acceptable for M-F and which ones were weekend special cereals.
I came away thinking that in spite of being demographically very different, our similarities are much greater than our differences.
I was walking along a sidewalk in midtown when there was a sudden heavy downpour.
A kind man nearby shared his large umbrella with me all the way to my destination 9 blocks away.
