On Wednesday, September 10, I was standing on the corner of Bayview and Wellington waiting for a bus. I didn\u2019t have a jacket or umbrella or anything having just come from work at the Aurora Toyota Dealership. So, here comes the rain, I missed the bus and have to wait for another.
\nIt starts pouring and there is no shelter. I was out there for maybe 15 to 20 minutes and I heard a horn honk. A lady had stopped in her car and asked if I would like a ride, to which I was worried of getting her car wet because I was soaked clean through.
\nI never saw this lady before and she doesn\u2019t know me, she was on her way to have dinner with her two sisters, and her name is Margaret. She has a daughter that volunteers at a nursing home.
\nThis goes to show you kindness is bread within. I want to say thank you to this lady. She had no idea what a blessing it was. The world would be a nicer place with more people like her in it.
\nPlease publish in case she may see it. I have no other way to say thank you and let others know just how kind some people are. <\/p>\n
