Heartfelt Thanks

Dear Editor,
    I am writing to simply say thank you to a wonderful family. On Saturday, April 9, my van ran out of fuel on I-35 near the 1325 exit, southbound. I was stranded with my 4-year-old son, Elijah. The day was warm and we had to get out and walk to the nearest gas station. When we arrived at the station, a family pulled up in a white suburban and offered to drive us back to the van with our fuel, apparently having seen us walking on the I-35 shoulder. I did not get their names, but I wanted to say thank you to them. On a day when everything seemed to be going wrong, their assistance was truly appreciated and refreshing. It is good to know there are still some genuinely kind people here in Austin. Thanks!
