Someone Saved My Life Tonight-Elton John
>When all hope is LOST...
YOU may think that Youth...
.....is WASTED on the YOUNG...
But even through those with pierced ears
....and skateboards...
.....still managing to carry a 3.6 GPA...
THEY can turn around and surprise you!
...Even those you yourself...have bore...
So when receiving a letter from the local Police Department in the mail slot this afternoon caused me to take a deep breath, and expect the unexpected...
I reached for a cigarette and glass of wine, even before the suggestion of tearing open the envelope...
But as stated before...
When you LEAST expect it...they turn around and make cause for you to BEAM...
My son..on an afternoon with temperatures below 14 degrees...upon walking home from school...a day where his headphones were accidentally left at home on the dining room table....
SAVED AN ELDERLY WOMAN"S LIFE...
Truly saved her...heard her moaning a silent groan in a puddle of blood at her back door, with groceries and cracked eggs sprawled all around her...blood frozen to her face and coat...glasses broken...poked into her wrinkled skin...a receipt stamped in time of two hours prior...proving time out in cold...with no one in ear shot...did I mention "PUDDLES" of blood?
After he helped her into her home...and cleaned up the blood...calling 911... the paramedics arrived...splinted broken wrists, bandaged cuts that required stitches, strapped her to a gurnee, and rushed her to the hospital...police officers took his information....and commended him...
For as little as 20 minutes later-it would become dark...and a woman who lives alone...
would have frozen alone...
with no one ever to realize that she would have... died alone...
And in the mail...the chief of POLICE...commends my son ...for his dedication to citizenship...and performance that "Not all teens his age would respond to".
When all hope is lost....you must continue to believe....and as he reads his letter...over a game of Half LIfe...he says to himself,
"It wasn't that big of a deal."
I tell him.."I'm so PROUD of YOU."
He, unknowingly, saved my life as well
