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.

Wow! That is an amazing story indeed. I am so glad you did see that. Suicide is something that has touched my life personally multiple times. I hope that man realizes how lucky he was and that knows people care about him. For you, that must have some provided form of inner redemption even though you were powerless in both situations. 💜
