Hugo, I salute you!

There are such wonderful people in this world. I have met such a man. My girlfriend (who is recently divorced and fresh out of man-help) got stranded with her car tonight. I tried to give her a jump...ha! what a joke!! I don't have too much man-help myself, so there we were two clueless women standing in the rain not really knowing what to do. Eventually we decided that she would just have to get it towed to a garage and have it repaired. She doesn't have the money for something like that, but what can you do. I took her to the local towing company and there we met Hugo. He is a shy guy with greased stained hands that probably never come clean. Hugo told her that he would come to where her van was after he got off of work and see what he could do rather than going to the expense of having it towed by the company. He stood out in the rain for an hour and figured out the problem. He was a determined man who knows his way around an engine. You could just tell that he was totally in his element. I asked him if he would like for me to go get him a cup a coffee. He smiled a shy little grin and said no "thank you." We sat in my warm van and watched Hugo do his magic. I fell in love with Hugo as I watched him. I'll never see him again, besides he is married, but I will never forget what he did for my friend. He fixed her car for such a small price. God surely resides in Hugo. I saw him there tonight.
