To tell you how proud I am of my Dad today

[elle6]

Today, my Dad stopped his lorry to pull a suicidal 22 year old over the safety barrier of a bridge and laid on him until police and ambulance arrived.

I saw him a few hours after and he was very shaky and emotional (my big lorry driving beer loving football mad Dad, emotional?!).

I had 2 suicide attempts about 6 years ago and I ended up in a psychiatric unit where he was my biggest supporter and drove the 100 mile round trip to be with me every single weekend then came to pick me up at discharge and had me live with him until I was back on my feet and had received the help I needed.

I'm so proud of him ♥️

I got teary reading your post. Well done your dad and well done you. Angels walk amogst us.

Your dad is wonderful

I think you are right to be proud of your Dad, good on him.

oh gosh; I'm welling up here! Your dad is amazing! What a hero!

Let him read all these lovely comments; he needs to know what we all think of him 💙

Your Dad is a hero. Both the Quran and Talmud have a saying that to save one life is to save the world.

Your dad is a hero ♥️. I hope he is doing okay and I hope the person he saved will be on the road to recovery. I bet their family are so grateful.

I'm glad you are also on the right path where you belong. You're needed and wanted here ♥️ .

Wow he's awesome

Your dad sounds like a lovely kind man. You are lucky to have him, as others have said he was a real superhero for that young man.
