Ok, I'm going to take the opportunity to brag on my daughter today. She left home early this morning, her best friend in toe, to go to work. They didn't get 3 miles from our house when she noticed that the 2 cars ahead of her swerved to miss an object in the road. As she approached, she say the obstruction move. Upon closer inspection, she realized that it was a man who had wrecked his moped! She immediately pulled over and offered the man assistance. She said he was crying and holding his knee. My 'good Samaritan' daughter called 911. Apparently, 2 more good people, who were EMS workers on their way to work, heard the call on their radios and stopped to help also. My daughter left the man in their care and passed the ambulance as she drove away.
I am so proud of her good heart. I am proud that she stopped, even though it might have been dangerous. In today's world, it is too easy to overlook the pain of another human being. We're jaded by the bad things that happen to people as reported on the nightly news. There's a special place in heaven for good people like my daughter.
God bless her. It's sad how cold the world can be. I can't imagine just driving off and leaving somebody lying in the road.
