On this September 11, my city is praying for one of our own. As detailed in the previous post, one of our longtime firemen had a stroke while on vacation in Mexico. I reached out yesterday and asked all of you for the POTP since he loves dogs, especially our city fire dog, Lola. He is her daddy actually. Together they provide fire prevention & safety education to our youngest citizens.
As usual, the POTP is working. Originally we heard that it might be a month before he came out of the medically induced coma. Well guess what, he's opened his eyes and is making amazing strides.
He still has a long way to go but his family is feeling so much hope.
He has a caring bridge site so if you'd care to read the story, it will make you realize what an amazing country we have.

ReplyDeleteWe have another friend who is on the Caring Bridge (he's been there for a year). It is a wonderful way to support people and keep friends and family up to date.
