You know who you are .. no names mentioned ...
I learned a lesson yesterday, 3 rotten things happened through other people .. and 3 very nice things happened 2 by people i had never met before!! the other person was you ...
after accidentally locking myself out yesterday, and no hope of the other 5 people who lived in my small block coming home any time soon .. the wind was howling cold, i only had a t-shirt on, and trousers, and my health not being all that .. i could have stood there at the entry door and cried!
2 people who live in the same vicinity, i asked for help in one way or the other, but they were in a hurry to go do what ever it was they were doing... not one offered me the mobile to call the number i had. also the ones that had windows open, who i could hear talking .. did not bother to answer their buzzer.
So yesterday was a day to find that my instinct that i cannot trust anyone anymore has been swayed, and one of them people i am going to try my best to help that man who let me use his mobile phone, after i had been buzzing on the security buzzers in the other blocks around me... he is obviously not in good health from a disability, obviously in need of help .. he has basic living and i hope i can help him get the help he needs
I am very fortunate, i have my laptop that allows me to enter a whole world that on the most part makes me very happy, last night, i put myself in that mans shoes yesterday and the outlook was very depressing to me! so i will try and find out how i can help him.
The delivery man, Paul, had no need to help me the way he did, he said he had a flask of tea, and he gave me his tea, and his puffa jacket, so at least i was warm while waiting for the 'highway man' of a locksmith! 'dick turpin' has nothing on that bloke!
The locksmith (dick Turpin) when he arrived, his first words were, the charge is £65 for being called out! i cringed .. and when i said i dont need the lock changing as my front door upstairs was on the latch, it took him a few minutes to put a sort of T shaped hook through the letter box and snagged the knob to open the door .. £65!
i did not say what i did on that post on my fb wall, hinting that i needed any money from anyone .. i was doing it to try and get a laugh out of a really bad situation ... and i did .. and then this morning i saw your email!
I usually dig myself out of the 'skint' hole eventually .. but you helped me quicker, thats why i cried!
No one has ever been this nice to me before, i have always been the giver, and never wanted anything in return .. thats my nature, some people really took the piss because of my giving nature, so eventually i clammed up ...the trust eventually left me.
I sincerely hope that i can show you that you can trust people .. as i know you find that hard too .. and i hope it will not be too long either, i will find a way, and i hope you can then find some peace.
Dont get me wrong, i am not over the trust issue by a long chalk, but it at least restored some faith, that hero's come by when least expected.
I wish i could give you a really big hug .. but this will have to do for now ((((((HUGS))))) xxx
I also want to say to the rest of you also, who gave me warm 'cyber' hugs, made me smile, and feel better, i will not forget!
