That day I did not pick up any more passengers, I just drove without any purpose, lost in thoughts about the old lady. I thought to myself that it sounded like closing of person‘s life.

When I was walking to the cab, I heard a door shut. „Thank you for giving me those moments of joy”, – she said. „There are other passengers“, – I replied and gave her a hug. “Tell me, how much I owe you?” she asked. I took the lady‘s suitcase, while she was seated in a wheelchair. While we drove through the city, the old lady showed me the places that were important to her: the building where she worked as an elevator operator, the house where she and her husband lived just after the marriage, the warehouse, where was a ballroom many years ago, so she went dancing there, when she was a young girl.Īfter two hours of driving she silently said: „I‘m tired, let‘s go now“.Īs soon as we arrived at the address she gave me, two orderlies came out to the cab. I quietly switched of the meter and asked what route would she like me to take.

„I know, but there is no rush, as I am on my way to a hospice. When we got into the cab, she told the address and asked: „Could you drive through downtown?” I told her, that it was not the shortest way. „ I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated“. „Thank you for your kindness” – she said. So I took the lady‘s suitcase and helped her to walk to the cab. The door opened and I saw a small lady in her 80‘s, wearing a dress and a pillbox hat. I heard a weak voice of an elderly woman: „Just a minute“. Therefore I always went to the door and knocked. But I thought of passengers that might need my assistance. Many drivers would wait for a couple of minutes and drive away in such circumstances. When I arrived at the address, the building was dark, except a light in a ground floor window. One time I had to pick up a passenger in the middle of the night. Many years ago I worked as a taxi cab driver.
