This is the Daily Note. I'm James A. Brown. About a year ago, I was walking near the Freddie Sue Bridge in downtown Rochester, New York.

That's when I saw her, an older Asian woman waving at me. Her English was limited, and she had no phone or GPS, just a crude hand-drawn map.

For 20 minutes, I tried to help her, pointing and tracing routes for her, but it wasn't enough. She was truly lost. She smiled at me, thanked me, and drove off. I still wonder if she made it home and why she stopped me.

Some people pass through your life like a flicker, but leave questions behind that you carry with you. So what about you? Have you ever had an instance like this? Let me [email protected] or call me at 585-371-8865. On that note, I'm James A. Brown, and as always, be well.
