My mum has always told me to help others.<br />One day last week I was walking back to my home and I passed by an old lady who seemed<br />to be in trouble.<br />I turned back and asked if she was okay.<br />She explained that she was sick and had to struggle to walk with her shopping bags.<br />I offered to carry her things and walked her back home.<br />But she refused because she didn't want to give me any trouble.<br />I told her it didn't matter and her home was on my way home.<br />It was a white lie.<br />As I walked with her she talked with me and introduced herself.<br />I in turn told her my name.<br />She asked if I knew Ray Robert.<br />I was shocked and said yes.<br />That was my dad.<br />It turned out this lady was my dad's neighbour who had looked after my dad when my grandmother<br />died 30 years ago.<br />My dad had often spoken of her but I had never met her as she had moved away with her family.<br />It was a lovely moment for both of us.<br />When I got home and told my dad about the incident it made him cry.<br />I was so moved.<br />I am glad that my small active kindness ended in a chance meeting that meant so much to<br />the two people.<br />My mum has always told me to help others.<br />One day last week I was walking back to my home and I passed by an old lady who seemed<br />to be in trouble.<br />I turned back and asked if she was okay.<br />She explained that she was sick and had to struggle to walk with her shopping bags.<br />I offered to carry her things and walked her back home.<br />But she refused because she didn't want to give me any trouble.<br />I told her it didn't matter and her home was on my way home.<br />It was a white lie.<br />As I walked with her she talked with me and introduced herself.<br />I in turn told her my name.<br />She asked if I knew Ray Robert.<br />I was shocked and said yes.<br />That was my dad.<br />It turned out this lady was my dad's neighbour who had looked after my dad when my grandmother<br />died 30 years ago.<br />My dad had often spoken of her but I had never met her as she had moved away with her family.<br />It was a lovely moment for both of us.<br />When I got home and told my dad about the incident it made him cry.<br />I was so moved.<br />I am glad that my small active kindness ended in a chance meeting that meant so much to<br />the two people.
