Unexpected Kindness

It is so heartening to hear of kindness from strangers - I am so glad that most people were kind and understanding to you and your husband.

My current house guests got held up going into the city this morning. Someone had fallen from a bridge over the road, so police and ambulances were involved and the road was blocked then closed for quite some time. People were frustrated of course, but it seems the overall response was one of sympathy and understanding.

I’m glad you experienced the same posset.

Thank you all for your sympathetic words - There are obviously many kind Grannies here!

Wonderful to hear a GOOD thing. Wishing you well.

I’m so sorry about the crash. I hope no serious damage was done to either car!
Everyone’s kindness emphasises my firm belief in the intrinsic goodness of humankind. Yes there are nasty people (who generally get all the publicity) but most are kind.

I think this too.
As we get older we dwell on mistakes including an accident that we may have got over quickly a few years ago.
Unless of course your DH knew he couldn't see properly and needs an eye test or something of that kind.An accident can’t be helped sometimes.

I am someone who is happy to wait in a queue at a road traffic incident - you should know that not everyone is angry.

I do hope your husband (and you too of course) soon feel better about the accident- at least no one is seriously hurt. That is the main thing.

I am always deeply grateful that I'm not the one suffering the trauma (and potential loss of life).

Maybe this is selfish but I do often think how lucky I am to be just sitting in the queue.

Accidents happen to us all but thankfully yours was not serious. Most people are kind, that's been my experience but kindness is not newsworthy, people seem to prefer to hear about the nastiness in our world.

The kindness of strangers does restore faith in human nature and I am so sorry for the upset to everyone involved.

Restores faith in human nature! Lovely to read about such kindness. Hope your DH is being kind to himself . Good to know you and others escaped serious injury.

Most important thing is that all involved are ok x

Maybe tell your husband that if someone had accidentally hit your car I am sure your husband would accept it was an accident and not done on purpose, he needs to be kinder to himself.

It is awful that your holiday was ruined but thank goodness that you seem to be okay. How lovely that so many people where there to help you. It is amazing how kind complete strangers can be when we need help. Sending good wished your way.

So sorry your holiday was ruined! 💐
