Throwback Post: Good Samaritan With Flowers and a Beautiful Day

**THROWBACK POST**

September 29 2014:

Thank you to the Good Samaritan who put the spare tire on Rosey. About 5 minutes after I asked for help on here, this gentleman was getting something out of his trunk parked next to me. I asked if he had time to put the spare on for me. Absolutely. He accidentally parked in the school parking lot.

He and his wife and daughter are here all the way from Hawaii visiting his dad in the senior rehabilitation center next door to HDMS middle school. His dad has Parkinson’s disease. As a thank you I gave all of them pieces of the almond cookie cake (with cream cheese frosting) that I had just served in Lillian’s classroom for her class birthday celebration.

The Good Samaritan even took the time to teach Thomas how to remove the flat tire and put on the spare. I say, Ask and ye shall receive …. And know that everything’s gonna be okay. xoxo

I know I can do anything if I must … And, although I know that there are people in this World who are so disconnected that they are unkind and have unkind motives; I do not feel I would attract such a person (and if they were near, my intuition would steer me clear). Location and the amount of other people in the area are something to consider too. We were in the school parking lot during dismissal with families coming and going in daylight hours. If it had been night time, in an unfamiliar place, and the only people in the parking lot; I perhaps would have handled differently. Lots of love and hugs to all y’all! xoxo Here’s what I delivered this morning to the Good Samaritan’s dad …
