It has never failed to suprise and delight me how often complete strangers have taken it upon themselves to help me, often at times when I needed it the most. Unsolicited and anonymous, with no reward possible or expected.
Recently I had to take my mother to an event. She is half-blind and infirm and I am in an ankle cast. We were waiting on the curb with heavy traffic, when the cab pulled up. As she stepped off the curb before I could grab her, and headed for the cab door, a waiter came out of the restaurant behind us, stopped her, got her in the front seat, put me in the back, closed the doors, sent us on our way, and went back into the restaurant. I thanked him profusely and he just smiled and left. People can be so good.
