Expect the Unexpected ..Not your usual blog...

Some of you know I work in the city. I like the city. I like being by Forest Park so if it is nice outside I can grab the tennis shoes under my desk and go for a walk. I like the culture the ambiance if you will. One thing I hate it how people drive. Are the roads smaller are people in more of a hurry what the heck. So today here I am driving home from work and BAM I see a little girl maybe 7/ 8 at best hit by a car and it kept going. I get out and check her pulse and nothing. I mean nothing. I dont start CPR cause I decided it would be better not to move her and I had called 911. I wait talk to EMT give statement and then I am back on my way home . It hits me somewhere between 5/ 10 miles back into the suburbs what the heck. A little girl just got hit by a hit and run driver maybe killed. So I spent all day watching the news for signs of her and reading the paper but NOTHING., How is this possible. So now I think was it a dream it sure felt real as I was on the concrete taking the girls pulse. I stil can see her clear as day in my mind airborne from that car. I wonder what it wasnt in the news . Will I ever know what happened to that little girl. It was a very good reminder of just how quick things change in a second. I spent most of last night up thinking about her and that. In an instant. How many things can change. Things can change in any minute. Be careful driving in the city. I still love the city but I will never forget that little girl I only met for one short moment in it.
