Greetings everyone,
Welcome to our 3rd San PelÍcano Stories! Sometimes, you just have to take the time to help others. That's what happened in our new (fictional) testimony!
Story #3: Elderly lady who witnessed a road accident
"Everyone says that as the years go by, time seems to pass quicker and quicker. I also think our relationship with time has changed over the past few years. Everyone’s always rushing around! At my age, running is a luxury, so you just let time go by, as if you were an onlooker. What life has taught me is that time spent with love is the most precious thing there is. Once it’s gone, it’s lost forever.
When I see all these youngins racing against time, jostling to get onto the metro and honking their horns at each other on their drive into work, I can see myself a few years ago, keeping an anxious eye on the clock. Nowadays, I hardly take any notice of the time. But when I do take a look, I realise how far the hands have moved.
I don’t really know what caused this accident, but time definitely played an important part in all that. This person was driving so fast; they might have shortened their trip, but only to end up hurtling into a catastrophe. Looking on, I saw the car knock down this lady at the pedestrian crossing. At that point I did start running something I hadn’t done for ages.
These days, everyone has their eyes glued to their phones, though'll admit this time it was thanks to one of those devices that an ambulance responded so quickly. For my part, glancing at my watch as I kept the victim company, was all that I could do. I was really struck by the image of the paramedics, who knew exactly what to do, so much so that I signed up for first aid training. If I’d known the right actions to take, I wouldn’t have been caught in the thrall of time that day. When I go to the classes, time passes even quicker, but that’s because I have so much fun!"
