Weird things you have accomplished

what a wonderful story. I have had the privilege of saving several lives and teach a student CPR that saved her brother's life. I know hospital Nurses that go all their lives and never have to respond in such a way, but I, a School Nurse have.

I too make pro and con lists and will deliberate before making a decision, but in a crisis situation I act with what seem and feels like instinct. But when I reflect back, my mind made many calculations before I reacted, just as I do when I deliberate. It was no mistake I went right instead of left because I had glanced at the left and saw an obstacle but my calculation were so instantaneous.

People have come back and told me how calm and methodical I was during the crisis, while everyone was screaming or too shocked to move. I get the post adrenaline shakes real bad-but that is afterward-once I know all is well. I am glad you were there for those two boys (I believe God arranges these things-but again that is just me). I never think much of it either, I just did what I could do when I needed to. In fact, I rarely mention it.

But I remember my then little girl telling me how proud she was of her hero Mommy. She has grown up to save others through her actions and charitable deeds and I hope I was her example. She always likes to remind me that 'he who saves a live save the whole world'.

You saved the world .....TWICE. That is a live well lived.
