[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 623965, member: 13882"] It's clear that you THOUGHT you and husband were there for the great deal that was offered (and you were, of course!), but you and husband were there for a bigger reason. You were meant to be in that restaurant, seated exactly where you were, so you could assist that grandpa and his grandson. Who knows why no one helped? Sometimes it's cluelessness, self absorption, fear, apathy, all kinds of things. Maybe the patrons thought the restaurant staff would be better trained to handle the situation. I was just thinking that if anything like that ever happened to my loved ones, would anyone help? I hope so. We are all connected, we are all brothers and sisters. You and husband demonstrated that in a very visceral sense yesterday, and that's wonderful! It doesn't take much, does it? Just calling 911 and holding someone till the ambulance arrives, and calming the small child - what does that cost? What training, other than basic human kindness does that require? I'm glad the Olive Garden acknowledged your contribution with the gift card! Enjoy your leftovers, you've earned it!! [/QUOTE]
