At about 11 a.m. on Dec. 20, I was involved in a motor vehicle accident at intersection of Northeast Union Hill Road and Avondale Road.<\/p>\n

You — a very, very kind woman, a stranger — stood outside my car in the rain trying to offer support to me as I was on the phone communicating location and my situation to dispatchers of both police and medics.<\/p>\n

I rolled down the window and tried to talk but there was so much noise inside the car and outside I couldn’t focus well.<\/p>\n

You, this lovely angel in a turquoise puff jacket, waited and waited patiently in the pouring rain. You wanted to know if you should continue to stay with me.<\/p>\n

Thank you so much for the kindness I’m sorry I couldn’t respond to you but your caring means so much.<\/p>\n

I was released to home from hospital later that day.<\/p>\n

One of the best Christmas gifts ever is your kindness and caring. I suspect somehow we are neighbors in the Redmond community. Blessings of the season on you and on your family. I am sending a hug out into the universe.<\/p>\n
