I saw something amazing this morning…

I’d just awakened and was in bed looking out of my window, some movement caught my eye; next to the hospital on the cross street is a seven story parking garage. About fifteen years ago, one of my neighbors had climbed to the top and jumped.

I realized that I was seeing a young man sitting, legs dangling over the rail, and I sat bolt upright, just in time to see two people grab him and pull him back.

I then heard applause, and saw that a few people had been standing on the sidewalk, watching. I didn’t see any uniforms, so the people who saved the guy,
appeared to be civilians. I’m glad they acted.

Thank you for sharing that story. I hope what you saw today helps you some in healing from what you saw fifteen years ago.

@SW-User Thank you. I didn’t see my neighbor jump (thankfully), but I remember being told that was how he had passed.

@bijouxbroussard Memories linger; even the ones we don't see. But yes, thankfully for you, you didn't see. I'm sure you know this, what has given you a sense of amazement today may be undone tomorrow. But, that is life, and finding yourself within it is what that matters.
