Laura Farr, 87, was trying to visit her grandkids who lived just a few blocks away. On this particular day, someone gave her a lift which caused her to get car sick, so she decided to get out of the car to walk.
Lost and confused, Farr walked two miles on foot until 17-year-old Eric Roman spotted her on an off-ramp of the Staten Island Expressway.
He pleaded with her to go to a hospital
Farr recalled that her body was shaking when Roman offered to help.
He says ‘sit down, I don’t want you to fall.’

“I’ll hold your hand when you go in the ambulance,” he told her, CBS reports. “Just let them take you, check you out.”
Eventually, she agreed.
New buddies
Farr recovered, but she didn’t forget the high school senior who helped her.
I was so happy.

In a CBS video, Roman and Farr reunited, with the young man bringing the senior flowers.
“When he came in he called her name and she goes, ‘that’s the boy. That’s the boy who helped me,’” Farr’s daughter, Roselyn Abraham, said.
