Today I am even more changed in my life. As I ran late to pick up the kids from their dad, no major reason just timing. As I just passed the weigh station heading south on I35 headed to Gardner I saw a small black car hit the billboard support pole. Glass, items, car parts flew. Without even realizing I was pulling over I was calm, I mention the over all calm in me only because I suffer with Severe Anxiety and in a moment where I would assume anxiety would Consume me it was not apart of me. Certified in CPR and First Aid I carry gloves and a breathing barrier. I got my gloves couldnt remember if my barrier was in my purse or glove compartment I didnt want to delay so I took 3 gloves. Running across the highway way with 3 others I planned to poke a small hole in a glove for barrier. I noticed as I was crossing another witness was also applying gloves. This woman Identified herself as a nurse she immediately started chest compressions and a man gave rescue breaths. I cleared back witnesses as people stopping to view. I comforted the young man who was there that was a friend of the young man in the accident. His friend was in another vehicle. It was necessary to move the boy from the car to the ground. I offered to trade off with chest compressions or breaths along with the other witness who assisted to elevate the boys legs to help with blood flow. The scene I will never forget. The young boy around the age of my oldest son who is 22 lay on the ground covered in blood. Blooded continued to flow from his mouth as the Nurse compressed and compressed and the 1 st man breathed his life into him, the 2nd man lifted the boys legs. As I waited to relieve CPR task I kneeled next to the young boy took his blood covered hand held it in mine and gently with my other hand rub the top of his hand. I told him I am here with you. You are not alone. God please help him. Please help him. I am here old on, hold on. God dont let him be in pain I prayed. As each compress rose his belly in front of my eyes. His young hand covered in blood stiff and cool I wept. I wept. I just wept. Someones son. Someones brother. A stranger to the 4 of us strangers but someone that at that moment represented my own son. This young man changed my life he changed all of our lifes who came together today. I dont know his name but I want his mom to know he was not alone and I will never forget his hand. God was there, and I believe he felt no pain and even though we all tried with all efforts and prayer I feel he went peacefully. Be good to each other. Love one another and dont go another day holding your I love yous in.
