March 20, 2019

Ron and Sharleen Gillies went from Scotland to England to bid farewell to a family member about to die, but were stranded on the road. A stranger stopped to help and had an unforgettable gesture.

In Edinburgh, Scotland, everyone is talking about Dean Moore's gesture. And this is not for less: the man has deviated from his way 600 kilometers to transport a woman who had just met at the place where her mother was on her deathbed. Thanks to Moore's gesture, Sharleen Gillies was able to say goodbye to her mother just before his death.

It all started on a Sunday, while Sharleen and her husband, Ron, were traveling from Edinburgh to Cambridge, England, but as a result of a car breakdown, they could no longer travel. Then a man stopped his vehicle on the side of the road and offered his help. This man was Dean Moore, who had learned that the woman's mother was about to die and that they could not send her away. Moore does not hesitate and offers to take them to Cambridge, 600 km away.

"I did what anyone would have done," Dean said., 40 years. Ron Gillies, meanwhile, told the British newspaper The Gazette who has no words to thank him for his gesture.
"It happened Sunday and the next day, Monday, she died, and if Dean did not help us, we would never have arrived at that time."

Dean also explained the facts from his point of view: "They seemed shocked and the insurance did not pay attention to them, and then I told them that the car did not matter, but that I could see his mother." Upon arrival, he used the bathroom and returned home. The next day he went to work ("very tired," he admitted) and received Ron's thank you call, but Dean rejected the praise: "They were already in a very bad situation and I only improved it a bit, I do not deserve so much recognition."he badured.
