A local policeman has gone out of his way to assist an elderly couple with a simple and selfless gesture.
A Facebook post on Mackay Noticeboard from Let the Children Play Toyshop shared the “lovely story my parents want to share”.
The poster’s elderly mother was bringing groceries in from her car one bag at a time, leaving the door open as she did so.
“Coming back from the kitchen she heard Dad, who couldn’t help as he is not mobile, say ‘here comes a policeman,’” the post read.
“There certainly was a policeman.
“He was carrying the rest of her groceries and just took them through to the kitchen.
“He just smiled and didn’t say anything.
“When she found her voice to say ‘thank you’ he just said ‘my pleasure’ and went back to his car and drove off.”
The policeman was parked across the street and is believed to have seen the elderly woman unloading her car as he was driving past, stopping to assist.
“It was a lovely gesture and meant a lot to them,” the post continued.
“Thank you, sir, whoever you were, you made my Mum feel very special and really helped out.
“Small gestures make a difference.”
