Children played in the yards along the block. I waved to them as I walked by, delivering mail at houses along the way. Just an ordinary Thursday afternoon. I turned up the next walkway. The lady who lived there opened the door wide. \u201cHello,\u201d she said. I knew what she was waiting for. \u201cI\u2019ve got your book club selection,\u201d I said, handing over her package.<\/p>\n

There were only about 700 people on my route. Over the years I\u2019d gotten to know most of them, if not in person then by their mail. There were the folks who got magazines, or book after book, those who loved their catalogues, some who had steady pen pals<\/a>. Mrs. Dorman at the end of my route got a package from the Home Shopping Network almost every day. She was an older lady, and I liked being able to bring a little joy into her life with my delivery.<\/p>\n

Some mailmen preferred routes where they drove a truck and slipped the mail into a collection of mailboxes without seeing anyone face-to-face. Not me. I wanted to be outside talking to people. Where the excitement was.<\/p>\n

Except to be honest, there wasn\u2019t much excitement on a local postal route like mine. Besides a sudden rainstorm or a white Christmas<\/a>, every day was pretty much the same. I tucked a bundle into the next mailbox and noticed a postcard on top from Hawaii. Maybe I\u2019m missing out on the real action of life<\/em>, I thought, wishing I was there.<\/p>\n

I continued down the block. I knew I provided an important service in my job. College acceptances, birthday presents, postcards from all corners of the world\u2014they could all make someone\u2019s day. I also brought doctor bills and insurance notices. Mrs. Dorman down the street got her blood pressure pills and blood test kits for diabetes in the mail. Convenient, yes. But I was just the messenger, showing up every day like clockwork. It wasn\u2019t me who was making a difference in people\u2019s lives. Not me personally<\/em>. A friendly hello, a chat with a lonely person. That was the most I could offer. That should have been enough, but the routine was getting to me.<\/p>\n

I dug in my bag for Mrs. Dorman\u2019s mail\u2014and the inevitable Home Shopping Network package. She\u2019d be glad to get this, whatever it was. Mrs. Dorman often waited for me at the door and we always had a nice talk<\/a>. Once a few years back I\u2019d mentioned I\u2019d noticed she got a lot of cards each August. Turns out, we shared a birthday. Now we never forgot to wish each other happy returns. This year she\u2019d turned 78.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Dorman wasn\u2019t at the door today, but I heard the TV going inside so I knew she was home. Probably watching her shopping shows<\/em>, I thought. I fit all the envelopes into her mailbox, then bent down to put the package by the door.<\/p>\n

I froze. What was that?<\/em> Something like a cry, barely audible. I leaned closer to the door. Maybe the sound came from the TV?<\/p>\n

\u201cMrs. Dorman?\u201d I called.<\/p>\n

No answer. But then\u2014that same faint cry.<\/p>\n

\u201cHello?\u201d<\/p>\n

I tried to open the storm door, but it was locked. So I pressed my ear against it. This time I clearly heard words: \u201cHelp me.\u201d<\/p>\n

I pushed against the storm door until the latch broke. Luckily the wooden door behind it wasn\u2019t locked. I pushed it open and stepped into the house, not sure what I might find.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Dorman lay face down in the hallway, not far from the door. An armchair had fallen on top of her. Her arm was caught in it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2026think\u2026\u201d she said weakly. She seemed to be having trouble breathing\u2014probably from the heavy chair on top of her. I carefully moved it, gently disentangling her arm before calling 911. \u201cI think I dislocated my shoulder,\u201d she whispered.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you know if she has any medical conditions?\u201d the operator asked me.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, she\u2019s diabetic,\u201d I said, remembering all those test kits. \u201cAnd has high blood pressure<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The EMTs arrived fast. They lifted Mrs. Dorman onto a stretcher and carried her to the ambulance. I called work and told them I would be a little late finishing my route.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Dorman was back home within a few days, her broken shoulder<\/a> in a sling. Some of her family members came to stay and look after her. I was sure happy the day she greeted me at the door herself again.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was watching TV on Thursday morning and lost my balance getting up,\u201d she explained. \u201cI tried to grab the chair. Instead it came down on top of me. It happened around eleven-fifteen. What time did you come by?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFour-thirty,\u201d I said. \u201cI wish I\u2019d been here sooner!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s okay,\u201d Mrs. Dorman said. \u201cAll that time I was praying. Praying for you. I knew you\u2019d come just like you do every day. That\u2019s what gave me comfort.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was just an ordinary Thursday. And that was extraordinary. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
