Thread: Heroism

Incredible story!!
none of us have any idea how we would react in such a situation. many of us even spout our opinions and beliefs about such a situation without the slightest understanding of what we are talking about because most of us, thank God, have never had to deal with a life or death situation. until we ourselves come upon that moment of truth we have no idea what we are made of.
Your friend has come upon that moment of truth for himself and proven himself to be made of the stuff of heroes!!


My prayers go with you and your friends

Even though I have been in a life or death situation, and feel that I was able to react with cool and calm thinking, I can still not even begin to imagine what went on in your friends mind. It is one think to have to call 911 when a family member is under threat of death, it is completely different to be the only life line that a person has. I can not even begin to imagine fighting off a wild animal to save a spouse. You friend truly has the stuff of heroes. I will keep them in my prayers.

Wow X, he sure sounds like some man. Thank you for sharing your friend's story. It is very inspiring.

That really is a stunning (in the literal meaning of the word) story. I hope you'll add the community's wishes for a speedy recovery to your own.

Simply incredible. Truly a hero in my book.

Thank you for sharing that X! Adrenalin is such an amazing substance when it kicks in... enhancing one's strength, speed, and powers of reasoning. Doubly fortunate, they had some luck to accompany it!! Please wish them both a speedy recovery and may their emotional scars heal just as quickly as their physical ones.

WOW Now that is one hell of a fellow and a special husband.

Whoa. That’s amazing. My prayers go with them for a speedy recovery.

Couldn't have said it better myself, really.

Just got word from Greg & Gemma. She's out of the hospital and they're in the hotel till the doctor says she can fly. Sounds like the skin grafting on her leg needs to be watched, but I'm relieved to report that she's in very good spirits and pickled that her man punched a lion in face.

I'll be sure to link them here so that they can read your praise and support for themselves. I hope it will help keep them in strong spirits.

Pickled? She should be bursting with pride. In any case I'm glad to hear the news and I hope the graft takes and they can fly themselves home soon
