I mean, I was out cold, on the floor, and people just stepped around and the checker kept checking out our books. Good thing Nathan was there. It totally shocked me to not have any offers of help.girltravelorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09520323969680993908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606637689904713685.post-23718028055545792252010-11-29T16:04:48.990-08:002010-11-29T16:04:48.990-08:00I am a softie.

Not even one person? Unbelieveable. Yes, I would have asked if you needed me to call 911 or help in any way, of course. Maybe they were shocked and waiting for you to stop assisting your daughter to ask? Especially, when you have a child so young....

My boys actually know that it's what ...I help. <br />My boys actually know that it's what I do and now they say, "Hey should we ask if they need help." I guess I've had too many times where I wish somebody would just do something, anything to help...and I am ALWAYS reminded of my leadership teacher saying, "A leader is the one that just does what others are still thinking about." It is a great reinforcer to just do what you know is right no matter how it may seem at the moment. <br />I wish I were there for you. I hope that it never happens again, but if it does that you're surrounded by helpful people.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210820513382353417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606637689904713685.post-85623878861979496052010-11-27T20:39:43.609-08:002010-11-27T20:39:43.609-08:00Man, Jo...I completely know how you feel. In fact...Man, Jo...I completely know how you feel. In fact, this is how I found our current church.<br /><br />I'll have to blog that story sometime, but basically, everyone was starting at me as though my kid was having a disruptive tantrum and finally someone came to help me.<br /><br />Turned out to be a pastor at the church we currently attend.<br /><br />I think it's everyone's responsibility to extend an offer to someone appearing to be in need. No one can make it through everything alone.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16704298016041843194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606637689904713685.post-47603497503705184842010-11-27T20:12:05.723-08:002010-11-27T20:12:05.723-08:00I would totally step in.

I mean, knowing what I know now having a child with diabetes, I would surely step in and offer a hand. <br /><br />In the past, I have offered to help someone who was obviously distressed but was turned away. Not rude, just curt. Like I over-stepped a boundary. For a long time after that I resolved to keep to myself. <br /><br />Now that I am older and wiser, I don't give a rat's arse about what people think of me. <br /><br />You look like you need a hand? Mine is right here. <br /><br />Sorry no one took the time to ask you, though. Especially the store employees! <br /><br />I guess I am trying to look at both sides, but now that I could so easily be in the same situation with my daughter I would want someone . . . . anyone to step up and offer a kind hand. <br /><br />((hugs))Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02826248976364694184noreply@blogger.com
