Good Samaritans Do Exist
Every once in a while it's good to hear that good people do exist, so I thought I'd share this little story with you.
My husband's been misplacing his cell phone quite a bit lately. 3 times, in the last month. Yesterday he lost it again. Seems he had put it on the bumper of the truck while loading the trash and then drove off to the dump with it still on the bumper.
Enter the Good Samaritan. She happened to see the phone laying in the road, stopped her car and picked it up. Amazingly it still worked after it's little ride down the road.
My husband didn't even know it was missing until after he got home from the dump and running a few other errands and found messages on the home phone from different people giving him the Good Samaritan's number and one from the Good Samaritan, herself, about his phone.
Seems she pulled up the phone list and started calling people. She left messages on a few phones.
I guess after a few calls and messages, she hit pay dirt. She'd called my sister-in-law's work number. She works for a small company in Nashville. The company got a call from this woman, asking if anyone there knew someone from Virginia and was called 'Sissy' by that person. My sister-in-law said she heard that when her co-worker yelled out this information with the "Hey! Does anybody know...." and thought to herself. "I know someone from Virginia!" "He calls me Sissy!"....IT'S ME, IT'S ME!!! My sister-in-law told the woman who owned the phone and gave her our home number.
He got his phone back, met a neighbor, she lives about a mile from us, and she invited us to their party next Saturday. I love a happy ending.
