Today in the hospital I went to the cafeteria to get breakfast.
I started chatting is up with a little old lady. We both got in the food line.
While we were waiting we noticed the guy in the front was having a tough time. He had limited hand, arm, & leg usage. Yet he used his feet to scoot all the way from lower floors up to the 11th floor and into the cafeteria. Gotta hive him credit for that (he was determined).
I decided it would take too long for them to call for help for him. So I gave up my place in line to go over and offer my assistance (A little self sacrifice to help another). I made sure to ask first because some people are stubborn or prideful. Once accepted I gave him a push where he needed.
He said "I need a healthy drink" so I brought him to the naked drinks and helped him choose the flavor he wanted off the top shelf.
Wheeled him through the register line. Helped him pick up forks, napkins, straws etc then helped him find/to a seat/table.
When it was all said and done. I got a "I appreciate your help, people just aren't like you." :):):)
Once done I went full circle and got back in the food line for my own service.
I think people forget we are all humans together in this world.
Many stay so disconnected from others they're unwilling to offer kindness /help.
Even though I'm having a rough time.
That guy I helped was having a worse time.
