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.

What an unsettling, disturbing thing to see any time, but especially first thing when you just woke up. I'm glad you didn't have to worry and agonize long though, about the man going down before you could do something to try and stop him.
