Good Samaritin

There are still good people in the world! 

Yesterday I went with a friend to town for a house cleaning job.  I always leave the keys in the pickup in case anyone needs to move it from where I park it.  This friend has a lot of siblings!  Anyway, when we arrived back from the job that afternoon the pickup was pointed the opposite direction.  I said to friend, "They needed to move the pickup.  Oops, they found out you have to roll down the window to get out!"

I went in the house for a minute to say hi to the others then headed out.  I passed one of her brothers and we chatted for a minute.  As I was walking away he said, " I fixed your door handle." 

I was so shocked, surprised, and elated I almost jumped up and down.  He said he didn't have to go get any parts and it might not last, but a straight piece was bent and caused the problem.  I told him thanks, of course, and went on my way.  I wouldn't have even noticed had he not said anything.  I've gotten so use to rolling down the window I don't even try the handle.

As I was pulling out I wondered how he knew it wasn't working.  His sister called me about getting out of the gate and I asked  her.  She turned to him and asked him how he knew.  He replied, "I saw her roll down the window and open it from the outside."  What a guy!

So, thank you friend who I've known your whole life!!!  You gave me hope that there are still good and skillful people out there!!!!!
