Dear Editor:
On June 28, I received the news that my grandma had a stroke and that she was at Royal Columbian Hospital on life support - and she wasn't going to make it. I rushed to the hospital emergency parking lot and quickly went to pay for three hours of parking.
My credit card stripe wasn't working and I just gave up and rushed in to be with my grandma. When I returned to my car three hours later (expecting a ticket), there was a note on my windshield from the lady behind me in line at the parking meter stating that she had paid for my parking for the three hours and was sorry to hear about my grandma and wished she could give me a hug.
It was so very kind of this total stranger to help me out while I was in such an emotional state.
To that woman - I say a sincere thank you. There are wonderful people in this world - and you are one of them.
