While on the road this mrn, I met this aged lady pushing her big trolley inch by inch up the slope. I passed her and thought for a while whether to help her, even staring at her back for a while before I u-turned back & ask her whether I could give her a hand.
When she understood my intention, she touched my hand and found me wet with perspiration and said that I should quickly go back to shower and don't catch a chill or something. Hey that was very sweet of her I thought. The gutsy lady heartily said that she could manage the load and declined my offer to help. Such an independent & strong woman, who doesn't see a need to accept help when she is still capable of doing it herself.
I admire that.
