“I left the office today to go home and grab a quick bite to eat when I saw this elderly man standing with his walker with his thumb out? I paused, made a U-turn, and went back to see if he needed some assistance. He said he was trying to get to the dollar store about 1.5 miles away.
My first thought was that this guy was trying to get some food so I decided to help out.
Once on the road, I had a couple questions for him:
How old are you? 93
What’s your name? Mike
Are you married? Yes, my wife is 94 her name is Dori
Does she know you’re gone? Nope, she probably hasn’t even started looking for me yet.
Why are we going to the store? My wife and I like to share a Hershey chocolate bar every night and we’re out so I need to buy 30 Hershey Bars.
I gave him my card and said next time you need some chocolate no need to try and hitch a ride, just give me a call and I look forward to meeting Doris.”
