Where Was I?: Perfect Post Award

Perfect Post Award

Sunday, September 30, 2007

September Twentyth, 2003, Tom And Sheila's lives changed.

To mark the anniversary, Sheila wrote a four part post on what took place that day. I won't try and explain it to you, not when she did it so much better than I ever could. In fact, the two of them have dealt with this with much more strength, humility and sanity than I ever could.

I have seen the Perfect Post awards around for a good long time, but have never been moved to award one before.

I could feel the tears coming already. “I don’t want to leave you.”

“Sheila, you have to go call 911.”

Tom continued to work on convincing me to leave him to go back to our house to call 911. He was, somehow, the rational one in this situation. I couldn’t figure out why he, the one who had been lying for three hours waiting for someone to find him, could be so calm. All I could guess is he already had time to assess the situation, and had gone through his stage of panic and was past that.

I, on the other hand, was freaking out.

I urge you to read this, and the three accompanying posts. It will change your life, For the better.

And, I think its flippin' awesome that I have my own label. You need to write many more posts about me now, so my label can be used more frequently.
