My post to day is dedicated to the kindness of strangers. I was diagnosed with MS in 2010 and from that day my life has been a real rollercoster. I have since then deteriorated mobility wise and have found that suprisingly strangers have been very kind to me. One episode that still comes to mind I was still at this time able to walk to my local supermarket.
Having got there and done my shopping I got outside and fell over - which was a regular occurance! I went one way, trolley and shopping went another. There was a lady with her son and his friend talking to her friend the boys helped me up and sat me on the bench collected my shopping and thanking them profusely was happy to sit and get my self together before the walk home.
They refused to leave me and while one sat with me her friend called a taxi for me. By this time I was in tears due more to frustration than anything else. I hated what was happening to me but there was nothing I could do about it.
The taxi came and the lady sitting with me push some money into my hand. She refused to take it back and told the driver 'look after her and make sure she gets home safely'
When I looked she had given me £10. every time I go shopping I hope to bump into them, but have never seen them since.
I THANK EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN KIND TO ME I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
THIS CARD IS FOR YOU! x

That's such a lovely story - the kind that makes you hope you'd be as kind in the same situation :-) I hope you get to meet the lady again. Ax
