We will never forget our good Samaritan

I HAD the misfortune to fall ill while driving during the festive season. I managed to park my car by the side of the road and a few minutes later was assisted by a good Samaritan.

He contacted the emergency services (although I had rang an ambulance earlier I did not know my exact location) and gave precise directions to the dispatcher. He contacted my company, took charge of my car and enlisted the aid of another passer-by to drive it to his house for safe keeping.

He then phoned and visited me in hospital, brought me sundries, and treated with such kindness, words fail me. When I was released from hospital he took valuable time off from work to meet me (he lived and worked nearly an hour from the hospital) to return my car and was genuinely embarrassed when I thanked him, stating anyone would have done the same.
