From Caren
I spoke with a man last night named Mr. Lambert. I found a torn piece of paper with his name and phone number on it, in a familiar handwriting I cannot recall who it belongs to. I remember he came to see me once at the main hospital - though not sure what day or time.....I called Him and he told me his wife Sue (I now can love 2 different "Sue's") were 2 of the many unknown names and faces that I learned stopped to help at the scene and helped my son Austin directly amongst all the gawkers at the wreck and scene itself who were doing nothing. He stated they saw a child standing in the road and Austin was very upset and anxious about his mom (me) and crying. He said his wife attended to my son and put him in their car.... he covered me with my jacket to try and keep me warm, I told him that Austin talks about him all the time. I just thanked him many times over and caught him up a little on things and am so appreciative. He said a woman was talking to me and trying to ask me questions he thought she was an off duty nurse or someone medical. He didn't know anything about her.
My son told me that "a tall black man (who he thinks also saved us) used his phone to call the police, fire department, and ambulance - so he called 911". That name and face is also unknown to myself and Mr. Lambert....but Austin said he won't forget what he looks like and that he told the policeman at the time about it. I can only hope that over time all of this becomes a fleeting memory for him. I am comforted by these additional puzzle pieces and whoever wrote down his number. I am comforted to know that guardian angels in human form were with us that day
I am curious why NONE of these good Samaritans are not listed anywhere in the police report as they turned my son over to the police once the police got there. So for the Lambert's and the others who are still unknown to me......my heart swells with enormous gratitude and appreciation for your selfless acts that day. Thank you just doesn't seem to be enough.
To my sister-in-law Raechel who found the Lamberts through a series of events.....I thank her too. These are good puzzle pieces
I am okay just to be thankful for that at this very moment......and for a moment reflect on the cloak of grace worn by each of those that day.....and since.....
