Act of kindness

To the editor:

I took a fall on my driveway getting my trash down for pickup the next day. It was dry near the top, and I thought it was just wet further down as the temperature was still above freezing. So when I hit the ice, the trash took itself and me down the driveway. As I was trying to crawl back up it, figuring I made a pretty ridiculous sight, two lovely young women stopped to help me. They got me to the top and back on my feet. They even righted my heavy trash container.

Thanks to those two women who stopped to help someone in trouble, I realize how truly helpful people can be. There’s no way I could thank them enough for their assistance. I’m not sure how I would have done it without their help. I can only hope they know how much I appreciate their kindness.
