That country home with very little furniture but somehow a CB radio and a phone. The images, the darkness that tried to swallow us but failed. A very old man offered his breathing apparatus to my mother while we waited for the ambulance still 15 minutes out. Can you imagine what he gave her in the moment? I can't grasp such generosity. He was brought by God to be my mother's saviour in that moment. I will never forget his generosity. His humble grace for our thankfulness. My mother is still alive today! So VERY alive!! Thank you for helping that boy.texasskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04731260485541230709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1814093805678165540.post-13374458041733098802010-08-12T14:15:11.615-04:002010-08-12T14:15:11.615-04:00This is haunting and life-changing for everyone in...This is haunting and life-changing for everyone involved.

I pray he recovers completely. Sadly, I can identify with you completely - 3:30in the morning on Sept. 6 of last year a 19 year old boy was killed right in front of our home. We were the first there, the first to find him, the heartbreak of speaking with his family. It was awful. But just like his family told us - "thank you - thank you for being with him - for trying to comfort him" - and well, I'm sure this boys family thanks you too. Those images will always stick with you - praying for you all too.Cathy Cobblestonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180582839832861090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1814093805678165540.post-62273053538995003122010-08-04T17:43:08.861-04:002010-08-04T17:43:08.861-04:00Although this is a very scary thing to have happen...Although this is a very scary thing to have happened, the way you told it was mesmerizing.

Guests know they've arrived when they see the skidmarks on the road in front of our house. We had our own "him" a few months ago ... a young man whose car landed upside down across the road after he misjudged one of the curves. We were shaken, just the way you were. Our young man survived, but we know no more than that. I hope he slows down in the future. I hope your young man will be okay.<br /><br />ConnieConnie in Hartwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127877285792861166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1814093805678165540.post-55866885896409346632010-08-04T14:37:39.207-04:002010-08-04T14:37:39.207-04:00Omg, I am glad that you were there to help this yo...Omg, I am glad that you were there to help this young fella!

Then we thought we heard crying, and my heart sank. As I am dialing 911 a woman and her 4yr old daughter, both covered in blood, run to my porch. She flipped her Jeep twice, and landed it on it's side, how she got them out I don't know. But for days I just couldn't believe that had happened to us.Laurenhttp://southernsassafrasblog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1814093805678165540.post-39866466214344831372010-08-04T14:33:49.424-04:002010-08-04T14:33:49.424-04:00What a horrible event that you became part of.

If nothing more comes of it maybe it will make each of us slow down and remind our kids to do the same. <br /><br />We have no idea how we touch each others lives, or what differences we might make. I think no matter what you touch this young mans life, thank god you were there.<br /><br />Hugs KarenKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02733271626666692225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1814093805678165540.post-17710872196590468102010-08-04T13:58:35.217-04:002010-08-04T13:58:35.217-04:00Scary how life changes in an instant.
