What a night to remember




An elderly woman was sitting and hunched over with her purse and lantern (yes an LED lantern) in the median a stone's throw from Island View Casino, one of the busiest crossing just passed Hwy 49.

She was in the middle of the ROAD! I thought I was going to throw up my dinner when I saw her on the road.

I think God put me and my husband at the right time and the right place for the elderly lady, Hwangtze'i Noguoyen. She is a Vietnamese 85 yr old lady who doesn't speak a word of English other than "understanding" the word name.

I was driving on the left lane when I saw just to my left a black mass. I didn't realize it was a person until I was about two arms length from it.

She appeared very disoriented and very lost, Bless her heart. I can not fathom how she ended up in the middle of the road alone like that, but she was coherent just not in English. A lady and I helped her cross the street to a more safer side walk to get help. I walked inside the casino to find someone who can speak Vietnamese to help us out. And was a big no too.

Anyway, long story short, we got the paramedics and GPD (Steven) involved. Not until I suggested we check her purse for any information. YES! It was me who suggested to check her purse, after trying to sensibly speak to her with no avail for half an hour. I finally got a hold of a prescription bottle with her name and her address on it and *Thank You GOD* a phone number.

In fact her family was desperately looking for her in Pass Christian. I spoke to her son and thankfully he spoke English and explained to him that their mother will be driven back to their house in a police car.

I was so heartbroken for her, I can't imagine my old folks alone and lost like that. My heart told me to keep the lady safe and make sure she's not scared. She was shaking the whole time I was holding her hands. Even after I tried putting the seat belt on her in the back seat of the police car, she didn't want to let go of my hands. I gave her a hug and told her she is going to be alright. She finally smiled and bye bye bye bye. (second English word she said the whole night)

And Thank you God, for your love. For keeping the lady safe and for putting us there to be with her.

What a night!
