Oh my, Emily! My heart was pounding as I read this. What an experience! There are so many questions going off in my head right now. But for you to have the courage and wherewithal to intervene the way you did was awesome! Wow!
Thanks Steve. These things seem to happen to me. I wouldn’t say regularly, but this certainly wasn’t the first time I’ve found myself in a particularly intense situation with a stranger. I guess it’s courage as you say, but honestly, there’s never much of a question to help or not. I just do it, like it’s what has to be done. Thank you again.
I’ve had opportunities like this in my life also but I sometimes talked my way out of them. Your auto response is remarkable and admirable and speaks to your heart which considers others first. Something that’s not automatic with me. So awesome Emily.
Thanks, Steve. Sometimes I question my auto response after the fact, when I begin to consider the danger involved in some of these circumstances. But then, in the moment, it is always clear to me what needs to be done, and I don’t question it. Hmmm.
Really liked this; I love to see you interacting with the world and being able to bring in your lived-in experience from a place of agency and possibility. All that fire! and the gentleness
Also so glad that you are in the world. What an amazing human--and how fortunate that you were able, both physically and emotionally, to be there for her in that moment. Golly.
Yes, it absolutely is! Thank you Sarah. Very fortunate, and I will take and attempt to absorb your gift of “amazing human” as I continue to discover and learn to see my pieces and parts in a hopeful way. 😊❤️

Amazing how that happens. Seems like the more time I have to think about it, the less chance I have on acting on my instincts.
Very true.
Beautiful story. Beautifully written. ❤️
Thank you Christianna:)

Thank you, Claudia! Yes, fire and gentleness, agency and possibility.
I love your kind heart.
Thank you Alicia. It can get me into some intense, but incredibly meaningful, situations.

Sometimes you think you are going for a hot fudge Sunday and the Universe says you are needed.
Yes! And I did eventually get the hot fudge sundae. Thanks Todd.
Glad to hear it. Ice Cream is important.
