That was one amazing story. It is interesting how people are placed in other people's paths to take action that aids the other person...whatever it may be at that particular time.
Sometimes not taking action has quite dire consequences. One only needs to look up a story from yesterday or two days ago that's floating on the Internet about one Chinese man driving and was in a rush to get to a certain destination. He passed a woman who was apparently struggling or injured and he couldn't be bothered to slow down to stop and find out what's going on.
It turns out that he learned later on that that was HIS own mother that he had passed by in his car and she passed away that same day from those injuries.
A true tragedy.
Only if he wasn't in a "hurry" to get to some place....
