Old Man with Rose in Hand Saves Young Girl from Colliding with A Car – Story of the Day
Anna was in a hurry to meet her boyfriend when an older man kept her from being run over. When she explained the reason for her distraction, the man told her something she would never forget.
Anna had been running errands for her mother around Toledo, Ohio all morning. She was so busy trying to get things done that she forgot about her date with her boyfriend, Julian. He was not the most patient person in the world and had been texting for a while.

“I’ll pay attention next time, I swear. So where are you going, sir? That’s a beautiful rose,” Anna asked.
“Oh, it’s a long story, and you’re in a hurry,” the man answered.
“You just saved me. I think I have time to hear your story if that’s ok with you,” Anna decided. Julian would not be pleased, but she wanted to know.
