There are still a few good guys out there

If you had asked me 2 hours earlier what I was about to write about I am sure it would have been something trivial maybe somewhat humorous but definitely not what I am about to write now.   This evening I had one of those reaffirming moments proving to myself that we are meant to be where we are at any given moment.  I clocked out of work on time today.  Never happens on a Sunday.  It was pouring rain.  So hard in fact I could barely see my car in the back of the parking lot.  As I exited the store there were about 15 to 20 people waiting under the awning for the rain to let up.  I normally just go for it and head for my car and look like a drowned rat by the time I get there but for some reason I hung back with the group.  It wasn't lightning just rain and wind.  Next thing you know two or three people try and make a run for it.  And wouldn't you know one of them, a woman in her mid sixties I would say, tripped and went face first into the cement.  I think in that moment everyone let out a collective gasp.  But then as I looked and realized she wasn't getting up and nobody was even attempting to move toward helping her.  So I pushed through the group and started to cross the walkway where she was laying in a pool of water.  By the time I got over to her one man had come out of a car waiting to cross the walkway and two gentlemen with umbrellas came over as well.  It was still pouring down on us but they helped to get her up and into a wheelchair where we took her back in the store and got her cleaned up.  I stayed and helped her fill out a report, had a manager get her a towel to cover up with, she was cold.  Then when she was ready I pushed her in the wheelchair back to her car and tried to make sure she was okay.  It just astounded me that so many people stood and looked on as she lay there.  If that had been my mother on the ground I would like to think someone would have gone to her.  As for the three men that did come over and assist.  They were the angels because it took two of them to get her up off the ground.  I don't know if my faith in humanity is waning or growing with the acts of kindness I see after the bad stuff.  Today it should have been a no-brainer.  Senior citizen falls down, in rain, GO HELP.  I really hope the karma falls on the good side though and the guys that came over to help are rewarded for their kindness.
