Because I have a disability, grocery shopping is quite an ordeal for me and terribly exhausting. The store is huge and it takes me forever to get from one end to the other. One of the employees, places all my grocery bags in the trunk of the car for me. But when I get home, I have to unload them all by myself (I live alone), then carry them upstairs (my garage is in the basement), and then put all the groceries away.
As a result, I only grocery shop every two weeks or so and stock up on lots of food. I often come home with 14 – 15 bags of groceries. But I’ve been doing it for years and am use to it. However, today I got lucky. When I walked down one of the last aisles, I ran into a neighbor who lives across the street. I mentioned my grocery store ordeal to her and jokingly said, “Maybe I should find a part-time husband to do my shopping!” We laughed and after a few more minutes parted.
Low and behold, as I pulled into my drive, my neighbor happened to be outdoors retrieving her mail. She walked across the street and offered to help me take my groceries upstairs. What a thoughtful and wonderful neighbor. I was so touched and so appreciative of her offer and when she finished I thanked her for being “My part-time husband.”
