'I would really like to just give him a hug and just let him know how much I appreciate his kindness toward a couple of strangers on that Alaskan highway.'
When Vanessa Foster found herself stranded in Alaska, a stranger with bright blue eyes stopped to give her a lift.
She and her then-husband had just hopped on a flight to Alaska without much of a plan. When they landed, they used the last of their money to buy an old truck and started driving across the state. Foster was beginning to feel like her world was spiraling out of control.A little while into their drive, they saw a hitchhiker on the side of the road, and her husband decided to give him a ride. The stranger climbed into the cab of the truck, and they continued to drive.
The man had left them with nothing. No car, no money. They only had about a dollar in change left between them.As they walked down the highway, none of the cars slowed down to pick them up. Finally, an El Camino pulled over. Sitting in the driver's seat was a middle-aged man with bright blue eyes. He told them to hop in.
After a time on the ranch as a cook, Foster divorced her husband and started a new life. The experience impacted her to such a degree that she wrote about it in a book titledLooking back on that time in her life, all these years later, she says she'll never forget that man with the bright blue eyes.
