Hi Jlynne,
Thanks for the message. I just happened to get back out of bed because I couldn't sleep.
This is my 15-minutes for the time:
1. We were hit dead-on by a horrible hurricane this year. A paramedic dies when a tree falls on his ambulance. The cop I sat with today tells me she was his wife. All I wanted to do was sit there and hold her hand.....but the place was so busy. I knew she wasn't as strong as she pretended to be.
2. From my job in a "previous life", I heard a cop get shot. He had a vest on, but he was till hit pretty much point blank in the chest. Three screams.....the last two were the worst....but he survived, even though his heart stopped twice on the way to the hospital. It didn't penetrate the vest, but it was too close to not bruise the chest. You know? He separated from his partner....didn't know there was a second bad guy....and was taken by surprise. And I can't seem to ge tthose screams out of my head tonight....actually the last couple of nights....but he survived. Not quite the same mentally, but he survived. I can still hear him screaming.....not like in the movies.....and only three screams....but you've never heard anything like that. And you just can't do anything to help him. And I can't imagine what his partner must have been experiencing.
Soooo.....my 15-minutes in bed tonight. Just memories and thoughts......nothing more. Just going through what I have to go through.
Back to bed. Night.
Sandy
