A blind lady and her dog

In a unenthusiastic way, I took the bus home since my car is still in the shop and needless to say, I didn't anticipate having such emotion over a fellow passenger. While on the bus, I occasionally broke from reading to observe my fellow passengers, and noticed the bus driver moving people around in the front of the bus, and her assist a elderly blind woman and her lab on the bus. The bus driver was in an obvious rush, and was moving her around to accommodate a man in a wheelchair. The bus driver moved the woman from the right to the left...move your pooch this way..sit here...tuck your dog in on your right..The bus driver just repeated those words over and over again until the woman was sitting according to the bus drivers liking. I didn't start reading when we started moving but instead watched this woman take deep breathes and lean her head back. Her eyes were closed...she was blind but I could see her pain, and all I wanted to do was to go to her and giver her a hug, give her a ride home...maybe offer to always pick her up and take her home so she'd never have to ride the bus again. My heart hurt for her. Several stops later, the woman exited the bus and as the bus drove off but not before I was able to give her a final glance, as she stood in the rain waiting to cross the street. I hope she has someone to go home to, someone to put dry clothes on her and someone to love her and her pup.
