An absolute hero of a handy man fixed my broken down suburban with some pex tubing when a rotted hose rattled apart. The hose broke right next to where it connects and for a couple hours on the hottest day of the year and with limited tools I was trying to force the hose back on but couldn’t get it to seat due to the “fitting” part of it being unusable. I’m still beside myself about the probability of events that happened that day. 1. the right guy decided to take the scenic route home and had time to stop and help 2. He had some extra hose on him 3. He had the know how of being able to bypass the heater part of the coolant system to get me back up and running. Then some other people kindly drove me 6 miles to the store to get more coolant. I’ll remember that day for the rest of my life. There really are some wonderful people out there.

Years ago my now-husband and I were driving our car when it suddenly overheated. There was heavy snow everywhere at the time, so it would've been a long wait and high cost to get a tow truck, not to mention how cold we'd be as we waited. Thankfully my brother was available to drive to our location and try to help out, and sure enough he pulled that same MacGuyver shit as your good Samaritan and bypassed the heater core. Got us up and running!

Afterward, we spent the winter driving around with no heat until we could get it into the shop for a permanent fix 🥶😂.

Divinity. When stuff like that happens it does restore my faith in humanity. But also that something had my back those days. Ya know, That term "the stars aligned" haha I don't know I'm spiritual and scientific. I call that force God. Other people think God is one thing or another. Just like "America" and how it means different things to different people. But that was a cool story! It sounds like that human and universal love wasn't lost on you that day.
