I remembered the act for which I had so much gratitude! It came to me this morning as I was walking around Buckeye Lake. From time to time, I go there for a couple of miles walk. One hot summer evening, after walking about an hour, I decided to find a spot on the rocks near the water to take a rest. A boy of about 10 years old was riding his bike past me. He slowed his bike and queried, "Are you alright, ma'am?" I was so touched by his concern and his apparent willingness to help me if I wasn't ok. I just kept thinking about how brave that was of him too, for surely that had to be an act born of great compassion to ask an "elderly" stranger.
I can't tell you the relief I have that I remembered this incident! I will cherish it more closely now.
Oh, Minda, I love this! Thank you for sharing - so glad you remembered. That's a treasure of a story. Good thoughts for that sweet young man wherever he is.
