Sincere Thanks

Yesterday, Wednesday, I tripped over in a construction area in Albert St. It was not good, and I was taken away in an ambulance etc. I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to the couple with the beautiful 1yr old boy, who stood with me for so long as I lay on the ground in pain and feeling ill. … View moreYesterday, Wednesday, I tripped over in a construction area in Albert St. It was not good, and I was taken away in an ambulance etc. I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to the couple with the beautiful 1yr old boy, who stood with me for so long as I lay on the ground in pain and feeling ill. They were calm and supportive and just very kind.
You are most appreciated, I wish I'd been in a state to ask your names.
Also, the construction workers who stayed with me til the ambulance came...cheers for that, nice to not be alone.
Thank you soo much,
Lisa

Isn't it a head-scratcher? No wonder folks end up losing their licenses from the drink-driving escapades and continue down a road leading to criminal records – talk about a far worse outcome!
