Namechanged as this one definitely has the potential to out me.
Friend on Facebook posted this today - why on earth is is irritating me so much? If it had been written by an observer of the event I would get it.... but to write this sort of gushing crap about yourself I find, simply, weird.
Had an eventful start to the day, heading home from dropping DD in school I noticed a large group of children and a girl on the floor, I pulled over to find out what had happened as other adults turned up, we sent the group of children to school to get a teacher one adult rang her mum and an ambulance (as she had banged her head and hurt her arm).
I went into first aider mode, we got coats and blankets from some of the neighbours, a big umbrella from ours and I took my help for Hero's hoody off and gently placed it under her head and injured hand. (That's community spirit when you need it) :)
The girl was visibly distressed so kneeling in a puddle I calmed her by getting her to concentrate on slowing her breathing and spoke calmly and stroked the side of her forehead, she calmed down, the Paramedics eventually arrived and whisked her off to hospital.
Hope the girl is OK and on the mend soon, now for me it is back to the normality of everyday life, according to DS though I am a hero (he saw me looking after her as he got on the bus :)
A lovely thing to do, wasn't it? If that was one of my DC I'd be relieved and grateful that someone had stopped and taken care of them.
It's the way it's written I think, so bloody humble and worthy. Was there any need for telling the world your hoodie is a Help for Heroes one? Kneeling in a puddle? Seriously?!!
I know IAprobablyBU, it's Facebook, yada yada. But it keeps appearing in my feed and really annoying me. Seriously thinking about blocking her to stop it! She's a really nice girl usually. Am I being awful?
