I cant tell you how deeply grateful I am to have such support from this fandon and to all of my friends here.
I was not prepared on what I am going to tell you now... Around 11pm CST a got a call from my boss that to pack things for the disaster that happened in West, Texas. My head was running high speed to get my things ready in time to go to it. Me and 10 others got the call and met up at my hospiital were a shuttle bus was there and two police escort to take us. I didnt know what to expect but to wait and listen... We didnt get there till 2am the next morning and i didnt get any sleep on the bus ride there, when we got close i looked out the window and saw dozens of emergency medical personnel in the near by area. Most of the people were outside in tents, we came to a stop and got out where we met up with the head of operations telling us where we needed to go, after that we got to work.... At this point i was scared out of my mind, but i had to pull it together to help to thoes who really needed it. Kids with bleeding ears, bruised faces, cuts and saw three of them dead... Mostly the adults got the worst of it some of them knocked out cold with blood everywhere from flying debris. peopel were coming left and right hearing screaming and crying, the horror of this is tragedy is really disturbing on this mass scale... Around noon we got most of the people out of the tents and into near by hospitals, a few remaned for they are waiting to be taken by ambulance to Waco, Dallas and Ft. Worth.
Friday a little girl came up to me with her mom in a wheelchair saying " thank you for saving my mommy..." at that point i wanted to cry so bad, but i held my composure and huged her tighly and then to her mom huging her too... That evening it started to slow down and i had to get away for abit my back against a wall and i just lost it... I cried so hard i didnt want to get up... Everything just caved in on me it really hit me hard in the gut then i thought back to the little girl and her mom i made that family live because of me and i felt.... Well i cant really put this in words on how i felt that moment....
We got sent home that same day and i didnt get back home till late friday... So as of now i am on paid leave for a week to get my head back and to reflect on how many life i have touched and saved...
From the bottom of my heart I would like to thank every one of you for giving the strength and courage that got me though this... As for now i will rest and think....

awesome job dragon !
In a way, you remind me of Lemonade Coyote. You face this death and constant tragedy, day in and day out, and you bring even a glimmer of hope to those, whose lives may be less fortunate than your own. You provide that beacon of hope to so many lives, like that little girl, and it really shows. You're an awesome guy, and a hero to lots, even if you dont realize it at times.
We all love you, and if nothing else, I love you. For being you, and being one amazing friend. I salute you and all your efforts that you provide for us and indeed for this fandom. You are so special, and indeed you are loved.
Rest up, and if you need anyone to talk to, you've always got me!
Keep your chin up, because thanks to you people are healing and lives were saved. Take your deserved rest and hopefully all those bad images you saw will be surpassed by good feelings and those heart warming moments of knowing the good you did ^^
*Big Panda Hugs* Take care friend.
the best i can do and say, Thank You Hero.
*Pudgy Coony Hugs*
I was so moved by the part where you hugged the woman you saved and her daughter. People like them are really grateful to people like you. I think you'd deserve a medal for your heroism.
This is the best I can come up with. We are all proud of you, and thank you for your heroism. *hugs*
