I know it was hard for them to understand, but I definitely know that it was the right thing.<br /><br />We did sometime similar before when we didn't have kids.

It is especially...Thank you for posting this story! It is especially heart-warming to read that you took the time to stop, offer and then drive Sue and Bella to their destination. Playing the Good Samaritan like that has become something really difficult for others who would be willing to offer aid but are fearful of doing that often now because those who could use the little bit of help seem to be doing some slapping at those offering help lately -even to the point of, in some cases, reporting the offers for help to the police or schools or such as the helper then is judged as being a weirdo! Makes a person question what on earth is wrong with society that refuses offers from someone just wanting to be generous or thoughtful and assist others? So glad you were able to do that and that Sue obviously appreciated your helpfulness too! That's the way life should be.
