Yet Another Reason Why My Wife Rocks!

Today, Rebecca is heading north on the highway that leads to our home. She notices the car in front of her began to sputter before it died, two lanes from the shoulder. Traffic moves around the car and she notices the couple inside growing more frantic. The man gets out of his car, but Rebecca stops him from running. She points to the shoulder and the man, who obviously knows very little English, seems to understand that Rebecca has offered to push him off the side of the road with her Honda Civic.
Fortunately, a flatbed driver is behind them and figures out what is going on. He takes his flatbed and turns to the right so the three right lanes are blocked so my wife can push the vehicle to safety, which she does.
The woman is still upset. She needs to get to her office to pick up her paycheck. It's not that far, but it's not around the corner either. After the man assures her a friend will pick him up, she drives the woman to her office and then to a nearby bus stop. She comes back later to make sure the bus came by to pick up the woman.
Throughout Yom Kippur services this week, we were told to look for a chance to perform Mitzvah, good deeds. My wife exemplifies kindness, caring, intelligence and humor every day. I love her and admire her.
