An act of kindness
Over the last handful of years, we all have often heard about people who have touched another's life through a random act of kindness. Although I try to do the same, offer help when I can, it seems nice to have it reciprocated when put in a rough spot. This past week, while my daughter and I were headed to a garage to have the oil changed, we heard a noise that alerted us to the fact that we had a tire going flat. She pulled off the side of the road, and I got out to look...and our worry was confirmed...we had a flat tire on the front driver's side. We opened the trunk and started getting the jack out as well as the spare (donut) tire when I realized we did not have a lug wrench of any sort in the car. She called a family member who was luckily down the road a ways, to come help us out. Although I have changed flat tires in the past, I am no longer in a physical position to do so. My back...spine...has herniated discs and severe arthritus in the lower back....
