Stranger things can Happen
I had the oddest experience at Walmart
yesterday. I was about to leave the store and there
was a women there at the pay phone crying. Trying
to figure out where she was. She asked where we were
and I told her . She relayed the message to the other
person on the phone. I asked herif she needed help and
she said she did. I was thinking she might need
some direction that she was just lost and upset. Well ,
not the case. This women then proceded to tell me that she
had run away from a grouphome and that she really
didnt belong there. She was shaking as she
said this . She wanted me to take her back to
the home but didntremember where the home was.
Then she wanted me to take her to a
bus depot. Well I told her I can't do that I have
my little children with me. Just noticing them for the
first time she says ok never mind I'll ask
someone else. I left walmart , came home, and
then proceded to call 911. I am not sure what happened
in this situation I hope that the women
was found and taken care of . She was so upset
and distraught. Itis so upsetting to me to not help
someone that needs something and yet
I just didnt quite feel right about that situation.
I felt better in sending help to her via the police.
Hopefully things worked out for the best.
Whatever that may be.
