back in 2017, i got into a minor accident on university blvd on the way to reedy creek with bagel. that day was the end of the camborghini as we knew it. thankfully bagel and i ended up okay. bagel had a misplaced rib. i forgot what they called it medically, but it was a mild injury which he fully recovered from. when the crash happened, the guy drove off. he knew he was wrong. but there was a bystander who saw it all. he was walking to the family dollar from his apartments. he was the one who pointed out bagel in the car as it sat in the middle of the street. he told me he would give the police a statement, but he had to go grocery shopping. when he came back, he gave the police a statement and he gave me a water bottle to drink and calm down. that was one of the kindest gestures someone has done for me in this life. we exchanged numbers and got lunch a month later. i wonder how he’s doing because i hope he’s doing well.
it’s been 6 years and i still remember the kindness he showed me that day.
