#1Canadian football players were in a bus driving home from a game in Indiana when an SUV swerved into their lane and crashed into them and burst into flames. One of the players rushed to the SUV and managed to rescue a brother and sister from the vehicle although their mother could not be saved. The team may have lost their game 32-0 but in the "game of life" they are heroes.

I don't know Jerry very well. He is an older gentleman who lives at the top of our street. He moved in a year or two ago. My husband and I see him out on his walk every few days. He usually has a cane but walks very briskly as if heading on a great adventure. He is very cheerful and upbeat when we chat.
Yesterday when I met him, he was using a walker but he was still walking quickly and was quite cheerful about our summer weather.
I don't know what physical challenges he is facing but our world would be a much better place if we all could face each day as if we were going on an exciting adventure that we were looking forward to!
Food for thought. . .
I agree... it's great the players went out to rescue some of the victims in the vehicle. I always wonder whether I could be so strong at an accident. One never knows how you'd react yourself I guess.
ReplyDeleteI agree...true heroes :-)
You never know what your reaction will be ahead of time. I wish you could plan these things!
ReplyDeleteYes, true heroes. I sometimes start the day thinking that it will be an adventure. Othertimes, life gets in the way. Are the flowers in the picture yours? If so, they are stunning Sandra.
ReplyDeleteHeroes come in all shapes and sizes. What lovely reminders of that!
