Jerry's Car Service..by MichaelA Story by Michael ReismanTwo total strangers sat a few stools away where most drown
their loneliness with unseen tears. Nancy got change from her last twenty dollar
bill and then tipped the bartender as she said goodnight. George did the same
and both ended up a block away walking into the car service that would take them
home. The dispatcher announced that the next car was available as both stood up
at the same time waiting for their ride. George said "if it alright with you,
maybe we can share this ride so the other doesn't have to wait for another car"?
"He can drop you off first , then me afterwards". Nancy agreed and they both sat
in the back seat as she told her address to the driver. George couldn't believe
his ears as it was the exact same address as his. It was an apartment building,
just on different floor. "Looks like we're going to the same place", Nancy said.
The huge tip to the driver was on George as he suddenly felt that this was a
meeting destined to happen. Each pressed the elevator button and then looked at
each other like the evening had just begun. "I'm hungry, want to ride one more
floor and I'll fix us both something to eat"? George replied "yes, and thank you
for asking me". There were no more unseen tears of loneliness as a short three
months later he moved in with her. The following summer they drove to a rented
hall where they were to be married. George made a special phone call to a
special place that changed their lives around. They sat in a back seat of a car
that would take them to their honeymoon. He was glad to save the business card
of Jerry's Car Service. On loves path we make a few stops to get
there...
