Cab driver picked up this little girl, and 5 minutes later, he realized that she needed help!
The Driver from Tennessee
A cab driver picked up a five-year-old girl by the road at night. She didn’t tell him why she was alone and where she was going, but she gave him a note.
After reading it, the man turned pale. Walter Goldman was born and raised in a small town in southern Tennessee.
By the time he turned 55 years old, he proudly considered himself a happy man who had achieved everything he wanted in life. Walter was a beloved husband, an adored father, and a wonderful grandfather.
He lived in a happy marriage with his wife Miranda for nearly 30 years. Of course, their life was full of both ups and downs, but they got through all the rough patches together as befits a strong loving family.
Miranda worked as a nurse at the city hospital and Walter spent his life working as a driver. The man used to drive a heavy trailer doing cargo transportation around the country.
But now, due to his age, Walter switched to driving a cab. This way he could spend more time with his family and grandchildren who came to visit their grandparents almost every weekend.
Walter’s son Spencer was a middle-class manager and by the time he was 30 he stood firmly on his feet and even bought a house. Many of Walter’s colleagues were openly jealous of how wealthy his family was and even asked him to share the secret of success.
But Mr. Goldman just brushed them off saying that all that anyone really needed to be happy was to love their wife and children. Walter was treated with the utmost respect at the taxi service and his vast experience was greatly appreciated.
Of course, Miranda often tried to convince her husband that it was time to quit his job and take care of himself. Walter sighed sadly in response and said:
“I can’t, I just can’t live without all the roadsides, the noise of the engine, and the wrestling wheels on the road. I just got used to it over so many years.”
“I understand dear, you’re a great driver. Sometimes it seems that you and your Chevrolet are two parts of one hole,”
said Miranda hugging her husband.
A Shadow in the Headlights
The woman always took care of Walter, preparing delicious sandwiches for him to snack on and lovingly wrapping them in foil. It wasn’t any different this time when Walter started his shift and went on an urgent call late in the evening.
The man knew that the address was outside the city and therefore wanted to take a shortcut. He took a bypass road.
Suddenly, someone got caught in the headlights of the man’s Chevrolet. It was a little girl of about five or six years old.
She was standing by the side of the road. The child, blinded by the bright light, closed her eyes and covered them with her hands.
With a sinking heart, Walter stopped and jumped out of the car.
“How did you end up here honey, and why are you alone?”
The man asked carefully taking the girl by the hand.
She looked at Mr. Goldman with a look full of sadness and desperation and then sighed and simply shook her head.
“You don’t want to talk to me or maybe you just can’t talk?”
Asked Walter, who suddenly got an idea.
The girl looked pretty attentively at the taxi driver and then nodded her head. That’s weird, who could have left a little girl alone especially at night, thought Mr. Goldman worriedly.
