[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 571329, member: 1233"] I have only one time EVER stopped to give someone a ride. I ended up taking them home and having htem stay at my parents' for the night (we lived with my folks then). I still get xmas cards from them. It was a little old man and woman and a big vehicle with a uhaul. It was Sept and super hot here and I didn't think they had any water. They were at the ONE stretch of highway that has no cell reception so I knew they couldn't call for help. I just had a feeling, so I stopped to help. They were helping their adult son and his teenage son move to Kansas after being out of work in TX for a year. they lived in TX, son was moving. Son had gone ahead to find help when their truck broke down, and they didn't know where to take the car to get fixed. I sent them to a reliable service station where I know the owners and mechanics, and then when the hotels were all full and they were going to sleep in a park, my parents offered to let them have the pullout sofa. Their son and his son slept in the truck that worked, their choice. They even tried to pay us after they got up and found I had homemade pancakes hot and ready. They were and are the sweetest people. I just kept thinking when I saw them that I would want someone to help if my grandparents were stuck that way. I try to always listen to that voice that is my gut instinct, even when it doesn't make sense right away. Usually it right. This time I was able to help thank you learn to trust that voice too. Of all the life lessons, that is one of the most important, in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
