BassAsin Posted April 22, 2009 Report Posted April 22, 2009 So my girlfriends grandmother broke her hip this past Friday. shes 62 and involved in her community more than anybody could imagine. She raises money for minor sports is part of the royal purple, cooks such incredible food for bonspiels, banquets and many other events, she picks up garbage on her daily walk, and many other unselfish and greatly appreciated gestures. She is an amazing person who means so much to a community without ever asking for anything in return. having been diagnosed with diabetes a few years ago, recently having surgery to correct her glaucoma, having to make repeated trips to Toronto and now having broke her hip Friday outside of the high school going in to collect a donation for the united church, it seems as though the saying "when it rains it pours" has struck her with bad luck. As the story turns out two young teenagers from the school assisted her in getting up and calling the ambulance. The school has asked for the two students to come forth as many thank you letters are awaiting them from friends, family and others of Helen. The two young men have not come forth wishing to remain anonymous not wanting any praise or pats on the back from anybody, i guess it just goes to show that there are some people out there who are very thoughtful at heart and help make the world a better place. Matt!

xeon Posted April 22, 2009 Report Posted April 22, 2009 great story helping others can come back to haunt you also! What?
RuNnYoOzE Posted April 22, 2009 Report Posted April 22, 2009 great story about her helping others..not GREAT as in "she fell down" that's sad..I hope she gets well soon!
Nippissinger Posted April 22, 2009 Report Posted April 22, 2009 Hey BassAsin, give granny our best and we pray she recovers fully. It is an unfortunate happening. It is also very nice to hear our teens are not afraid to jump in and assist their fellow people in distress. A very heart warming story. Nippers
lew Posted April 22, 2009 Report Posted April 22, 2009 Some people spend a lifetime seeking praise, others don't need it. Sounds like your GF's grandmother, plus the 2 boys that helped her are all pretty good people and hopefully she has a speedy recovery. She sounds like quite the lady.
tinbanger Posted April 22, 2009 Report Posted April 22, 2009 Give our best to your grandmother . She sounds like a great lady! There are LOTS of great kids out there ,unfortunatly the few rotten apples get the headlines! TB
xeon Posted April 22, 2009 Report Posted April 22, 2009 great story about her helping others..not GREAT as in "she fell down" that's sad..I hope she gets well soon! Haha no, there shouldnt be anything haunting about helping people.
Leecher Posted April 22, 2009 Report Posted April 22, 2009 Sorry to hear about this awful accident Matt Sound like she's one very special person in her community.... Wishing her a speedy recovery Jacques
Rizzo Posted April 23, 2009 Report Posted April 23, 2009 here's wishing your grandmother a speedy recovery, it sounds like she will be missed while she is recovering. As far as the 2 helpers remaining anonymous I would do the same. They were just doing what you would expect of anyone who would come upon a person in distress. The truly sad part is that there are many who would not do what you would expect! I guess that's why in today's society we are surprised when someone actually does something nice. Good for them for helping, and I agree with their decision to remain anonymous.
BassAsin Posted April 23, 2009 Author Report Posted April 23, 2009 thanks for the wishes and replies everyone. went and saw her this morning after she got transferred to the hospital here in town and i got a couple days off she's still a little doped up but in good humour, she brings home cooked meals to many of the people in the hospital for short term patients and asked me " well who the heck is gonna bring the lunches in for them? (the patients) followed by " actually who the hell is gonna bring me lunch?" hhaha she's smiling and lookin up hoping to be home in a few days. Matt!
Cookslav Posted April 23, 2009 Report Posted April 23, 2009 Great story, thanks for sharing it. If only more people were like the folks in the story....what a wonderful world this would be eh? Cheers,
