Instead of writing a speeding ticket, a North Carolina state trooper joined in prayer for a woman and her father, who was battling cancer.
DURHAM, North Carolina -- A powerful exchange took place between a father and a North Carolina state trooper.
It happened in March when Dr. Ashlye Wilkerson was traveling back from Duke University hospital in Durham, where her father had been receiving chemotherapy for stage four colon cancer.But it was her dad, deacon Anthony Geddis who spoke up, hoping to protect his daughter. "He was still a little weak because he had a treatment that day he cleared his voice and said, 'this is my baby girl, she's driving me back home from treatment I had chemo," Wilkerson recalled.
Trooper, Jared Doty, said,"At that time I knew there is no way I'm writing this lady a ticket. I had to sit in there for a while just to compose myself to figure out what to say when I went back." What Wilkerson and her dad didn't know at the time was that Doty had previously been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and required surgery to remove his colon.That's when he asked to pray with the family.Unfortunately, her father died two months later, in May. That's why she's sharing the photo now as a tribute to her father and to the trooper's moment of compassion.
