On Nov. 30, I was walking in the Semiahmoo Mall, when I suffered a medical emergency, probably resulting from a Parkinson’s condition.

As I passed by the Santa Claus enclosure, my balance evaporated.

I started to fall to the floor, but was supported by a stranger who gently lowered me to the mall floor without injury.

Other kind strangers called the mall security; Cheryl, who, with the stranger, got me to a chair and I recovered. But the unknown stranger left without my getting his name and my thanks.

My gratitude and thanks to everyone involved.
