I said ‘About once a day like normal’, then I said ‘To be honest I’m about scared to go to the store due to the COVID-19. She shocked me with what she said next. She said, ‘Do you need me to go to the store for you?’, and then went out of the room while saying ‘I’ll be right back’. She then comes back to my room and sat down with a pad and pen, I was shocked still at this point, I told her ‘I cant let you do that,’ and said ‘Are you for real?’ She said ‘Yes, I’m going for another person so I can get what you need while I’m there.’ I was at this point ready to cry, because no one ever did anything like that for me. I still wouldn’t let her do that for the simple reason, I wouldn’t feel right if she was to get the virus while doing that for me. In my mind I heard her tell me she was willing to take the virus for me to keep me safe from getting it myself. This happened about a month ago and still yet I can’t get that out of my mind. I did take her a vase and flowers but somehow that doesn’t seem to be enough. She was the sweetest person I have ever met and I think the world should know that there still is sweet and honest people out there.
