The kindness in strangers

Tweet

So I went over to my grandparents house in the afternoon for a visit today. I noticed there was a good chunk of snow at the end of their driveway (or in my case the beginning, as I first drove in) and it was hard to drive in. Anyways, I had a great visit with them. As I left their house, I backed out of the driveway.. And silly me, I knew there was the deep snow at the end of the driveway, but kind of underestimated it, and got stuck in it, as well as, between it and the HUGE snowbank between my grandparents house and their neighbour! So that wasn't very good.. I went and grabbed a shovel from my grandparents house, and started digging, trying everything to get out. Very very shortly, however, a car stopped by.. A father and son. The son asked me if I needed any help (thank goodness!) So to try to make a long story short, we tried a lot of different things to get my car out of the snowbank/deep snow it was in.. including digging more and having people push from behind. Finally, the father went and got his jeep (it seemed like he lived pretty close as far as I could tell) and tied a cable to the back of my car, and pulled me out! So, also, there were cars on both sides that were trying to get by us, that were being tied up.. So I just quickly left to go home, I thanked them both of course, but wish I could have repaid them some how or something. Really, you just got to love the kindness in people, it goes a long way!
