Just a Phone Call Away

--by speedi, posted May 12, 2008

We were out shopping and as we were entering the store there was a young mother with a crying baby looking out over the parking lot. I smiled and said, "Did you forget where you parked?" "No," she replied, "My husband went to get a diaper and I need a bottle as well."

It was pouring down rain and we asked if he had a cell phone with him. "Yeah!" she said. We handed her our cell phone and she called her husband and asked him to please bring the baby a bottle when he came back. Later on, we happened to see them in the store with the baby drinking his bottle and Mom happily telling Dad that's the couple that helped us with a phone.
