A woman from St. Louis, Missouri, recently posted a heartwarming Facebook message after a terrifying ordeal. In her post, she explains that her two young children were stranded on a school bus during a recent Winter storm, until some kind strangers approached the bus and came to their aid. Read her post below.
So tonight my two little girls were stranded on a bus in Arnold/Imperial on Miller rd for 5 hours. Bus 23. They are in 1st and 3rd grade.
Being a parent I was in agony, panicked, worried sick. We couldn’t reach or even talk to them. These girls are our whole world.
I imagined they were scared, hungry, unable to potty, cold, the awful things that went through my mind were limitless.
Complete strangers who lived along the road took action. They linked arms, and helped these children across the road and into their homes to let them potty. They brought them snacks and waters. When i finally could talk to them, they had been playing games and singing songs. They were warm and happy.
So if I could, I just have to say thank you to these strangers and bus drivers. I couldn’t thank you enough. I don’t know if you will ever know how grateful we are that you did this for these children. This could have been a very traumatic situation for these children. But you all really made it a bare able. You protected them, made sure they were comfortable and had everything they needed. And you didn’t have to.
I thank you and I hope you see this somehow.
Facebook user Debby Provance Cook commented on the story, perfectly summing up the situation. “The real people of this country will do this kind of thing everyday when others need them. Mark my words carefully people…THERE ARE MORE OF US THAN THERE ARE THEM…by them I mean the complainers, whiners, fault finders and on and on and on. People love helping people. God made us this way,” she wrote.
We couldn’t have said it better ourselves. These are the stories we love to see.
