Spread a little
kindness
I never thought I’d see this today on my route. A
little old man was walking down the highway looking for a phone to call for
help so I pulled over asked if he was okay or not. He told me that he had
wrecked his car. I told him to hop in and I would take him back to his car and
we will call somebody. I asked the gentleman to hop in his car and see if we
can get it unstuck so we don’t have to call anybody, needless to say, we got it
unstuck.
I asked if he needed anything else before I go, he
said no son you helped make my day even better. (While he was saying this he
was starting to tear up.) I asked if he was okay? And he said, “Yes son I just
came to see my wife.” I was looking around and realized he was pulling into the
cemetery (I got a huge knot in my stomach.) I asked how long has it been? He
looked up at me with a smile and said, “Fifteen years tomorrow.”
I asked how often he comes out to see her… he
smiled and said, “Every Saturday morning.” He looked at me and said, “At first
everyday but after a few years, I couldn’t make it out here like that anymore.”
I said man that must be hard to miss someone for that long. He looked at me and
reached up to put his hand on my shoulder and said, “If you ever love someone
like I loved her then this is the smallest thing I could ever do to show
everyone that I love her more than life itself.” He looked at me and said, “I never
had eyes for another woman and I never will. God bless you for your help and
the talk.”
I just looked at him and thanked him for the
lesson. We shook hands and he opened his back door and got flowers for his wife
out of the back seat and walked into the cemetery as I drove down the road.
I guess the gentleman was my sign from God (I have
been praying for a sign to keep me going in my time of need.) The lesson is
your love will never die for the one that is truly yours, just hold on and your
love will reconnect somewhere in this life or the next.
