Ms. "Bille"

My family and I met Ms. Billie yesterday. We all went to I-hop to eat last nite, me, M,and H.. Upon leaving, my husband is stopped by a very frail women outside the door. She was ooh around 75 years old. Now, while Im inside paying for the check, my daughter comes back in and says"daddy went to help an old lady get gas". Humm I say.. Now, this really doesn't suprise me, I have been a senior citizen magnet for quite some time now. Now it seems my husband is as well.This is probably the 5th or 6th incident involving older people since I have met my husband. Once, an older lady came to my door and asked me to help her put her bra on,she was very disoriented and confused, she lived 3 houses down, and needed help. ..Then later that same week, Im leaving Walgreens, and a little old lady approaches my car asks me for a ride home, her sister didn't show up so she wanted to give me a dollar to take her home.. Of course I took her home, and didn't take the dollar. Then there's Bille. The funny thing is, like my husband says- its funny that she even approached him for help. See- he doesn't look like a choir boy by any means. He has tatoos, earrings, you name it. Yet- she choose him. Don't get me wrong, if I where 75 I would definitely want him to help me. He has a huge heart, I was touched while observing how he talked to her and tried to comfort her. He kept calling her sweetheart. She even asked him to drive her home, handed him her wallet, money, her keys..Its almost like she knew.. This brings me to two points.. I learned a huge lesson yesterday- I wanted to hurry, hurry and eat so we could get home so I could see the end of a stupid show. I was irritated that the food took so long..I was wanting just go home! Then came Bille- She taught me that the stupid T.V. show could wait. There was no way in hell we where going to leave this women by herself in the parking lot of I-Hop. It really taught me that- REALLY- there are more important things in life. I mean- we where all there for a reason.Thank God my husband helped her, thank god we where there, otherwise, there is no telling what could have happened to her.Unfortunatley, there are many people in the world that would have taken advantage of her. The other point is this- I get soo pissed when it comes to the way we treat our senior citizens. Maybe thats why I have become a beacon to them, they seek me out- I don't know-I feel blessed to be able to help- Maybe I'm missing my calling? Maybe I should volunteer at a retirement home? I'll have to look into that- I know they would love my husband.. Until next time..or the next encounter.. : )
