24. Today I am grateful for a stranger offering help

On my last trip to Scotland I spent a lot of time searching for my ancestor’s graves and visiting the streets and areas they lived. This trip has mostly been spent with family events and touring various parts of Scotland. However, since then I had found the grave number of where a set of 2^nd great grandparents were buried so I convinced my brother to travel out to the Cathcart cemetery in Glasgow to help me find it.  We found the section number and split up to look for the headstone. While I was looking a lady walking by asked me if I was looking for a particular grave and I told her I was and she asked if she could help me look. She said she often walks around the cemetery and has met people from all over the world looking for a grave of an ancestor. On many of the headstones the lair number was hard to see but the number before and after the number I was looking for was clearly marked, the one in between them would most likely be the one of my 2^nd great grandparents Andrew and Annie Burrows Primrose, but unfortunately had fallen over facedown. It was disappointing but I am grateful for that lady who took the time to help me. She suggested calling the cemetery office to see if they can get someone to lift it up. She also took my name and email and said that she would keep an eye on the area and let me know if it does end up being raised back up. I just love it when people selflessly serve others and this was a wonderful example to me.
