So today was beyond the most fulfilling days of my life
the story is
My dad and I went fishing and we left about 4 or so to go home, and on main street on the way home we(we live on main street) we saw a older male with white hair and a hat on, then he stopped put down two white bags (like target bags) and put his thumb out, I looked in his eyes as we drove by in our air conditioned vehicle and just pure and utter sadness and hopelessess just poured out and into my heart! Im like dad we HAVE to pick him up or give him water ( its like 85 degrees out) So we came home put our stuff away and we both kept looking at him and sighing and just we both felt megga horrible. We went in the house, and saw him walking slow and I was like on the verge of tears saying like what if his wife passed away and he didnt know where to go, or his car broke down and he cant afford a phone, my mind ran wild with possibilities. I could tell my dad wanted to help him also, he kept looking at him as we were walking in , and his mood changed. Jim (my dad) choked out come one lets go get him , and I would of loved too however, its just a 3 person truck and it would of been a smooshed mess. So i told him go do what you gotta do and call me later. I saw my dad pick him up out of my bedroom window and just sighed and started crying with relief.
I was paseing and turned on my music and had my phone in my pocket waiting, he never called so I was worried, Then I saw him pull up and I ran out and begged him to tell me what happened, he said" his name is Jim Sanders. He was having a heart attack, he had a pace maker in his heart and he just started to walk to the hospital in galesburg. My dad went to the nearest gas station and got him water and called an ambulance. When t he ambulance came and got him on a stretcher and he kept thanking my father repeatedly for saving his life, and he said it was my 16 year old daughther who convinced me to help you out. The man said " give her a hug for me" at that point in my fathers conversation I immediatly began to cry!, with relief and utter sadness just insaine fulfillness!
I had no idea who this man was, or his story..I just felt like he wasnt the usual man all of our parents told us to stay away from. You know the long haired, dirty clothes, and sign saying going to airport, it was just a deep feeling in me that needed to help!This Is one of the best days of my life!
please if anyone knows him or how I can get ahold of him I would adore to know how this man is doing!
It would mean the world to me!
