I've been trying to find a Paramedic who saved me 4 months ago, I still haven't found him. I've tried everywhere I can think of, but most say they're constricted to give me his name. They asked me to write a thank-you letter. The End. I've already done that, I've done everything. I'm trying to find my Hero, who taught me what Integrity is. B/c of him today I have Courage and Strength to accomplish my dream. I don't even remember how he looked like... I just want to thank him that is all. Am I doing anything wrong? Sure, that's what a Paramedic does, but I really want to thank him. I've learnt a lot b/c of him, just by searching for him. And I know only his first name, which isn't much help. How you give up on a Hero, I do not know of, I'll never give up. Everytime an ambulance drive by I feel so torn. What if I never find him to let him know he's my Hero? Honestly I'm obsessed, but I need to find him. I may be a spec of dust, but today (b/c of my Hero) I am more then proud of him!

I think it's great that you really...really, really, really appreciate what a medic did for you.  A thank you letter goes a long way, we rarely get them so when someone writes one it's noticed.  If you want to go the extra mile write to your local paper (opinion page, letter to the editor, things like that) and mention how you liked the service, don't go in too much detail just say thanks and they're doing' a great job.  We rarely get mentioned in papers, if we do it's usually bad news.\n     Anything further than that gets a little creepy, especially if you don't know the person.  Don't think for a second that a small thank you isn't a big deal.

Someone's ability to love you is not about you.  It's about them.\n\nGod doesn't love any of us because we're great.  He loves us because He is Love.  It's not about what we deserve or how worthy (or graciously, how unworthy) we are.\n\nOther people will love you because they can.  You have to work on getting to the place where you can let them.  It won't do you or them any good unless you are able to receive it.\n\nI have no idea what D.I.D.W.T.H is, but PTSD sounds likely to me.  \n\nCOUNSELOR, COUNSELOR, COUNSELOR.  I know it seems like we're stuck there, but you need someone to help you.  You deserve someone to help you.  PLEASE, let someone help you.\n\nI've been there.  I'm not there anymore.  There is hope.

Dear lady, you seem to be a net freak who won't refuse to sign off come what may. \n\nI hope the emergency has been resolved. \n\nPlease if anything of this sort ever happens again, rush your loved one to the nearest emergency center before it becomes fatal. \n\nDon't waste time in posting a question, then wait for an answer which one cannot be sure, is correct.

Not sure that I can help, but I know someone who can.\nGod!  You and I can pray for this person.  I looked at his questions and answers profile and he seems very serious about his question.  I pray he finds God.  I know he can help him.\nI also appreciate that you saw that he really needed help.  I had over looked his question before.  God Bless You.

if i got a love letter, then i would think about it all the time, but i would try to hide it. send him another one but this time give some random clues about who it is, but make it mysterious. by the way, i think wat u guys r doin is hilarious.

Why don't you write her a letter expressing your feelings.  This is something a guy friend once wrote to me and we were just friends, at least on my side.  " i have never met someone as sweet endearing and kind as you.  A day doesn't go by when i don't thank god you bringing you into my life, your pressence in my life makes it so much more meaningful"  Another one " faith makes all things possible.  hope makes all things work and you are the best thing in my life", another is " life has no guarantees:  Part of growin is learning Part of hapiness is tears Part of loving is hurting and Part of Me- will always be thankful for meeting you"  Another is " someday when the pages of my life end i know that u'l be one of it's beautiful chapters & if i eva get to read it i will open it to the day when we met.  this is one of my favourites "a star has five sides:  1 represents your Kindness,2nd your smile,3rd your charm, 4th your personality and 5th your beauty."  another is between a thousand yesterdays and a million tommorrows there is only one today. I wouldn't let this day pass without saying that i think you are truly special."  hope this helps goodluck and let me know if it helps.

ALWAYS!!!! The way I see it...I got my arms full of goodies and this person has nothing.  I'm blessed to have what i have (which isn't much), what good is it to have it if you can't share it.  I cannot tell you how many times I've given whatever was in my pocket to someone sitting on the side of the street.  DC almost broke me.  There was at least 2-3 ppl on each city block.  It was heartbreaking.\nNow grant it, there may be shammers, alcoholics, druggies, etc out there, but who am i to judge anyone?  Even if they take the few bucks i give them and go grab a beer when I'm outta sight...it still makes me feel better about myself to give.\nI'm a strong believer in Charma too.  There's been many times, I've been down on my luck and there were ppl in my life to help me out.  I remember how humbled I was to have to accept their help but sometimes you have to tuck your pride away to survive.  I share my gratitude of those that helped me by trying to help others.  "what goes around, comes around" is such a true cliche'.\nSome of my "friends" scold me for giving money or food or whatever i have, saying things like "they're faking it" or "they probably got a mansion somewhere", etc...but again, like i said, giving to them makes me feel better as a person, so i do what I feel is right, regardless of what others say or think.\nThat is what i suggest to you....do what you feel is right in your heart.\nmarjenl72

The next time you go the cs office tell them that you want a copy of whatever efforts they have made to find him. Have they made phone calls? If so to who did they make them. Have they filled out forms to send to Texas? It sounds like they may just be beating around the bush on this one if you are giving them factual and accurate information.  If they can't provide you any proof that they have attempted to contact and find him then they probably haven't.  If they keep on with their bs start mentioning the words "legal action" that usually gets the attention of most people when they are not doing their job.

I am sorry,  my grandmother has lost her will to live after my father died three years ago, I do not believe you will ever get over it, I think you may be able to one day accept your child died,  but you will always grieve and feel your loss, I am not sure the goal is too get over it, I was devastated when my father died and I know this cannot compare honestly if my children died, I would probably semi lose my mind at least temporarily. and I know I would become a humanitarian worker on the international scene for human rights watch or red cross, in the thick of things. and I would have a very nomadic lifestyle, however I still  feel the hole that was ripped open in my soul the day my father died, I do not believe it will ever go away, church made me feel worse. the funeral was horrible .I told the priest he was full of it ,and so was his religion ,which offered no comfort .and I informed him  that my father detested religion,I can relate to not wanting to hear the empty god comments. what surprisingly helped me , was a support group for grief victims ,people who had the same or similar experiences .I would have never  joined a group like this, but it was a service offered ,because I donated his organs.and amazingly just the pamphlets generated from the group touched me and helped ease my grief, I know it sounds like it will do no good, but It is truly worth a try, for you to get in touch with other parents who lost their children, I know I saw a persons 360 page on yahoo ,the mans child died and the support from the online community was amazing .I am not sure this will help you as much as a real group ,but not feeling alone in your anger is crucial to feeling better, it is most difficult to hold on to yourself or soul ,if you believe in that, when you are filled with misery ,it is so much harder to love yourself,life, or anything than it is to hate .and making that human connection with others that can truly understand you rather than dismissively wish you well or try to say something they think you want to hear, is the first step in regaining the feeling of control and a new perspective , I also encourage you to visit my 360 page and dont read it ,cause I am bad and while I try to remain positive, I do tend to gravitate to the darkside at times, but go to my friends list  find Skyes avatar click on it and visit skyes page, this beautiful woman is a well of positivity, and spiritual well being .and just reading her blogs make me feel better and I am sure they can touch your heart as well

The tough choice in life, i was in a similar situation a long time ago, the first question is, do you have a good support system or the father of your children that can help take care of your children temporarily till you get your life together, it seems from this letter that you have to prioritize with  what you have to do before you end up homeless. My only suggestion is survival and a strong will get you through, and only you can help yourself even if there are tough decision you have to make in order to survive.  always, empathy in CT

I believe that we all have angels and spirit guides with us at all times.  They are here with us, just in the spiritual dimension, just waiting for us to call on them for assistance.  I call upon them and thank them for their assistance everyday.  I also invite them into my thoughts, as they will not interfere without permission.  Invite your angels and spirit guides to be part of your life and you will be amazed at how much easier your day to day living gets.  I thank God everyday for my life and everything in it.  Along with that I also ask my angels and spirit guides, provided by God, to assist me with whatever I need to make life smoother.  Even things that seem small like finding something that is lost, or finding a good parking spot or freeing up traffic, or I might "hear" them in the form of a thought or gut feeling to do or not do something, such as an unwise lane change in traffic.  Good things constantly happen to me at work so that I end up with the easy/enjoyable jobs.  All you have to do is ask.  I have never seen them physically, because in order to do so, they would need to slow their vibration down to our level, which is difficult.  But I have no doubt that if I needed them, they would be there for me.

Honey I'm not sure what to tell ya.  Don't give up on him.  Do you have anyway to contact him?  You should tell him how you feel.  I don't know why he hasn't talked to you in a month.  That concerns me a little.  Like I said, don't think bad, think good.  Hope things work out for you.

Yes- I witnessed a pedestrian get hit by a car - people just stared at me for a minute - I knew first aid so I was barking orders for someone to PLEASE call 9-1-1.  Finally someone re-focused and rad to a nearby plaza to call.  Luckily an off duty paramedic drove by and stopped to take over.  I was relieved because the man appeared to be going into shock on me and I wasn't confident that I really knew what I was doing!

Wrong? They should give men like you medals!!!!!!! Here is a huge pat on the back and thank you, from someone who had an abusive step-father and prayed daily for someone like you to rescue me. Thank you for being a great human being!!!!!!!
