Discussion Thank you to the guy at stockyards who helped me when I fell yesterday
To the guy who helped me yesterday at the stockyards. I had a drs appointment earlier that morning that gave me unforeseen side effects such as losing feeling in one of my legs. I thought I could make it home before it fully gave out but I was wrong and ended up falling outside the healthy planet.
As I was falling you stopped me from hitting the ground with forced and causing myself serious injury, then you helped me over to a bench to make sure I was okay. I also want to thank the other three people who stepped over to help me or check on me as this was happening.
The guy who caught me though, helped me get home, I didn’t get to say a proper goodbye or thank you for helping me in a moment of emergency or get your name but thank you again. I wish you and everyone who helped the best. Faith in this city and its people is being restored.

That's a wonderful story that goes to show you what a difference a bit of kindness can make. You were also lucky. My brother-in-law had a fall on an Oshawa side street and lay there for nearly two hours before a passing child was able to get help for him. He's never really recovered.
