Several months ago, while jogging, I slipped and fell, skinning my right palm and elbow as well as scraping the left knee. 2 young boys (aged 9-11 years thereabouts) very gallantly came to my 'rescue'. Mind you, physically, I look far from fragile. On a unrelated note: shortly afterwards, I learnt that my dad passed away at exactly the same time, I fell into such an undignified heap. Looking at the now fading scars, I sometimes wonder if my dad tripped me in rebuke for not being there to say goodbye (I just returned home after being abroad for nearly 8 years). Or if he sent those two gallant young boys to my aid. :) Yes, these encounters can be so gratifying.
