On my way to work this morning, I saw this lady walking down the middle of the road. I pulled over to ask if she was ok, but she was very apprehensive about me approaching. It was 37F out this morning, so I was worried that she had to be freezing. Not sure how long she had been out here, but there were no houses super close by, so I had to assume it had been too long. I went back to my vehicle and called 911 and tried my best to keep her calm and to keep her from walking away. She kept telling me that she had dropped her kids off at the school, and couldn't remember where she parked. As soon as the cops arrived they took my information and said I could leave. Just wanted to share this to get it off my chest and out of my head if possible. Kinda had me freaked out a bit.

EDIT FOR THINGS THAT HAVE COME UP- - I took the picture in case she wandered off so that whoever responded to the call would have a visual to go by, yeah old lady with a walker probably would have been good enough, but I'm weird like that. - I called 911 because I'm in a small town, and at 4am that's all we have here. I didn't request the cops, that's just what the dispatch sent my way. - the cops in our town are actually some of the good ones out there. - I did call for an update later in the day and was told that she was safe.

You did the right thing and probably saved her life. Thank you for being a caring human.

Hey my grandpa went missing for about a week. He was finally found in Georgia by a gas station attendant that called 911. He insisted he was perfectly fine, but “some a$$hole moved Florida on me!” He lived in New York.

You are a hero.
