The other night, my friend and I were driving home from Fayetteville after meeting up with some other friends. Suddenly, she started feeling bad and her stomach was hurting so she asked me to stop asap. The closest (and only) place that far back into Sampson County was a gas station.
After a few moments, she came back out and we started back toward home. Pretty soon, she stopped me mid-sentence to ask if I would turn around and go back. This time, she thought she was going to throw-up. So, of course, I immediately went back and she took off running into the store again. After a few minutes, she came out with a bottle of Pepto Bismal.
As a sidebar, I have seen this girl turn up a bottle of that pink stuff on several occasions as if it's some pink lemonade on a hot summer day. Yuck!
Anywho, she told me that the guy behind the counter gave her the medicine. She took it up there to pay for it and he said, "Sug, just take it. I hope you feel better." NO CHARGE! I was truly touched by this. That was really sweet of the guy to give it to her. Of course, he would have to put the money in the register himself. Yea, I know that P.B. is not an exciting "gift" at all, but when you feel bad in that way, you really want some sympathy!
The entire ordeal reminded me to show love to others in whatever way they need it most. For my friend, he gave her exactly what she needed--the P.B.--and not a hard time.
Happily, we did not have to go back to the store a third time.
