Saving the Day on my Bike

Scary...good that you tried to reach 911. It may be worthwhile to ask police if they were able to apprehend the abusive guy.

You are a survivor, smurf.

Thanks ladies. Feel free to direct any healing energy towards that girl. I think the fact that I was able to stand up for that girl and call without being stupid and putting a 52 tooth chain ring scar on the guy's forehead was the proof I needed that I've healed up okay. It's scary to get involved with something like that, but scarier to think what may happen if you don't.

Smurf,


Congrats on your recovery. Being a strong person and dealing with your own issues has allowed another person to be benefited. I had something bad happen in my life that caused similar scars. I felt selfish pay attention to my own self rather than focusing good on other people. I realized that it is important to heal one's self before you can be a thorough light of goodness to the rest of the world.

thank you for all that you have done

Smurf, you are right, for once it was good to be the invisible cyclist...hopefully you started a chain reaction for the women in that family that lets them know life doesn't have to be that crappy...I had been in a similar situation a very long time ago and it's amazing the clarity we get when we need to be...

Smurf, thank-you. Hopefully, the proper authorities will be able to intervene and that she will be able to receive the help she needs to overcome her own scars.

smurf there was a REASON it was slow that day.. Those women needed you, but their angels couldn't get to them. So they summoned you.
THANK YOU

THANK YOU

Thanks, I needed that. I was feeling really heroic at first and now it's weighing pretty heavy on me. I don't think it was just their angels involved. I really think this was kind of a passage for me. To be able to make things right felt good, but until I know the results it rings hollow.

Everything happens for a reason though, and I'm confident I wouldn't have left work early if it wasn't going to benefit this girl and her mother. It was an act both selfish and selfless but I hope it pans out.

Thank you, Smurf.
All too often people will do nothing in certain situations.
