I felt compelled to write to thank the two people who stopped to help me [yesterday] when my car ran out of gas in the middle of Ashby — at rush hour no less! — just a block from the gas station (we have a diesel, so we’re often cutting it close to find a station, but never this close!).
As I was on my cell phone calling AAA, with cars blaring their horns, I saw a guy get out of a big pickup truck way across the way, and then run over to me to say he’s going to push me over. He tried, but the traffic was crazy. Another guy pulled up and yelled out to my guy, “Need some help?”
Next thing, I know they’d gotten the first guy’s wife to block traffic with the truck while they pushed me safely to the side of the road. All the while, AAA can’t even get my membership number right, and, because I was dealing with her on the phone the whole time, I didn’t get to thank either of these really amazing men for their gracious help as properly as I would have liked. If you have a space for this type of thing, I’d love to let them know how appreciative — and really, how blown away by their generosity — I am. Thanks.
