Thoughtful help

To the editor:

The 4th of July, I attended the matinee showing of “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.” After purchasing my senior ticket, I discovered that the theater at Liberty Hall was up a flight of many steps. I managed well enough climbing the steps.

After the movie was finished, I waited until most of the theatergoers had left. As I was going down the steps, my arthritic legs moved rather slowly. I stepped aside at the landing to let those behind me go past. A very friendly voice said, “We’re in no hurry; take your time!”

The woman went ahead of me a step and invited me to put my hand on her shoulder to steady myself. When we were down the steps and to the door, she said, “Ill walk you to your car.” I said it was only half a block, I would be all right. She insisted on going with me and I thanked her for the concern, consideration and kindness.

I wish I had asked her name so I could write a note to further thank the lovely lady.
