A great story from the town I grew up in. Sometimes, I miss small town life, how people will go above and beyond to help someone.
So many learnings from folks back home over the years, I hope they remain etched in my soul. From the article:
“Ryan dropped the van at Parkway Service and gave us a ride to the Days Inn. We checked in, got settled in for a weekend in Estevan. Linda, the desk clerk mentioned to Janet Symons, our predicament and Janet thought she knew someone who might be able to help us. An hour later she called us in our room and told us to call Gord Stevenson. I called and he said he would be willing to take a look at the van. He picked us up from Days Inn and we drove over to the van. On the way there, I found out that Gord was retired after 41 years of working as a mechanic at the GM dealership. Now that he was retired, he did yard maintenance for 40 homes. Not a guy with a lot of spare time on his hands.”
We live in a world that needs much more kindness, grace and giving to folks wee do not know yet. A great reminder of that in this story.
Go make someone’s day please. 🙂
