Troubled!

I was unexpectedly called over to my parents house tonight, to help run an errand! They live about a 20 minute drive from mine. I left at half 7 and while driving over I passed an old man walking with a big rucksack on his back, he was on the outskirts of town H heading towards town S, they are linked by a long winding B road!

So I get to my parents run the errand and go back to theirs for a chat, head home at 8.45. On the way back I pass the man he is about half way down the road walking towards town S. He is going so slowly and it is getting dark! I have a pang of wanting to take him someone where safe, but I don't stop and head home. I can't help thinking he needs help! Would any one have stopped? What would you have done?

In reality I'd have done exactly the same. Nothing, then gone home and worried. I'd then make dh come back out with me and give the man a lift. It would eat me up. HOWEVER!!! Old man - knows the world - took the risk - not your fault if be is struggling, he made the decision to walk...
