This is second part to Tapping into Source.  Please read Part 1 first. 
As it turned out, Ruby's father was a mechanic with his own garage located just a few blocks from the park!  I asked him if he would be able/willing to fix the brake light or lights (my husband thinks BOTH brake lights were out) immediately since we had to get on the road as soon as possible.  He said something like, "Sure, I'll give it a look.  I'll pull my car around and you guys can follow me to the shop." 
Really?!  Yes.
While our new friend (I wish I could remember the name of our guardian angel/mechanic) repaired the light, his daughter, Ruby, colored with our daughter and taught her to say the word "yellow" (she always said, "well-wo").  Ahhh, yellow, the color of hope...
The work took under an hour and he finished with daylight to spare.  When I asked how much we could pay him for his generous and skilled service, guess what he said?
"Pay it forward."
Discussion to follow...
