Humanity is a funny thing. Can a single word be an oxymoron?
Yesterday my husband and I were stranded in a parking lot for three plus hours. Our SUV engine was silent, locked in gear, and certain electrical functions systematically began to fail. It seemed that no one wanted to help us, even though they were in a position to. Not a single passer-by approached us (in a busy grocery store parking lot, no less) and even the tow truck companies were hesitant. My mom finally saved the day, making a one hour trip to rescue us. We ultimately found a tow truck willing to help us. All in all, $269 later, everything worked out for the best. But the process was disappointing.
Think about it…the next time you’re driving around and you see someone waiting helplessly by the side of the road. Sure, you have to be careful in today’s emotionally charged climate. But what if it were you?
I’m mentally sleepy. Not tired exactly, just sleepy. I’ve a lot on my mind and just hope for the best. What else can you do?
I am forever thankful for people like you and your mom and dad. No matter how crappy other folks may be, I always have three shining examples of love and humanity to keep me hopeful.
I (we) will always be there for you (and hubby) if humanly possible!
We love you! That’s what parents do… (well some anyway)
