So yesterday my mom was on facebook and saw that two of her friends (people I know also) had a man as a mutual friend ~ a man by the name of Michael. He had the exact same name as the man who drove that tow truck all of those years ago, the same one who saved my mom's life. She sent him a facebook message asking him if he drove a tow truck back in the 80's; he responded back that yes he did and wondered why she was asking. She's responding to him now ............
All I can say is, if this is indeed the man that saved my mom's life all those years ago then I need to meet him someday and thank him for saving her when no one else would stop to even make sure she was okay. How do you think someone like that, the one who gave me the gift of having my mom with me all these years? I don't know, but I hope one day I get to find out

something along similar lines
my dad was required to use an oxygen tank for about 12 years (COPD). he was driving on the highway once and ended up with a flat tire. being himself, he decided to change the tire despite the summer temperature, the remote location and the addition of a largish O2 tank "following" him around. needless to say, he was affected by the heat and the labor and passed out behind the van, not in full sight of drivers passing by. a Schwann's driver noticed his van and pulled over just in case anyone needed help. that's probably the only reason i got to spend 5 more years with my father. when i finally met the Schwann's driver i couldnt decide whether to hug him or put in an order for a lifetime supply their chocolate peanut butter ice cream.
hey! they work on commission ya know!
