“It’s a good thing that Jamie Watts listened to her inner “voice” when she decided to stop and help an elderly man she’d seen walking along the highway in Talala, Oklahoma.
“On that cold, blustery Thursday, Jamie Watts drove past an elderly man who looked disoriented and was without a jacket on the side of U.S. Highway 169.
She drove past him twice, hoping someone else might stop to help. When she drove away the second time, something told her to go back.
“It was God telling me, ‘Hey, go back,’” Watts said.”
It turns out he has dementia and only a note in his pocket titled :” daughter ” along with her number.
“The daughter told them her dad must have walked along the highway for more than 20 miles — without a coat — from their home in Bartlesville to Talala.”
Watts said she’s glad she trusted her instinct to go back.
“Something tells you, ‘Go back, go back,’” Watts said. “And who could talk to you down deep in your soul like that unless it’s something greater than us?”
