A Heartwarming Encounter At Shenandoah National Park

By A Friend • August 17, 2024

I wanted to share a recent experience that reminded me of how good people can be. I went hiking in Shenandoah National Park, and like any other trip, we parked our car. While getting out, I accidentally hit the car next to us with my door. I was sitting in the passenger seat and was too excited about the hike to notice.

After a great day on the trails, we returned to find a note on our car. It had the other driver’s contact details and a request to call them. Once I got home the next day, I called and apologized, explaining that I am a student who isn’t earning yet.

To my surprise, the person on the other end was incredibly understanding. He said all he wanted was for me to acknowledge what happened and to apologize. He emphasized that people are more important than money and advised me to always own up to my actions rather than running away. His kindness and understanding truly blew me away.

This experience has restored my faith in humanity. I’m curious, what would you do if someone accidentally hit your car? Have you had similar encounters?
