Charlie, Last Monday morning, my kid was involved in an auto accident. Rather than drive by, you pulled over to assist her. She was in shock but you finally got her to unlock the doors. You got in the passenger side, held her hand, talked to her, reassured her and stayed with her until Ems arrived. You also called me. As we spoke, I could hear the faint sound of the Ems sirens. The louder they got the more anxious I became and you reassured me too. The siren sound stopped, I could hear commotion in the background, and by then you were gone. I never got your full name so I could send you a thank you and let you how much your kindness helped us on that foggy morning. I know this is a long shot, but DY is such a large community, maybe you’ll see this. Thank you, Charlie , from the bottom of our hearts! Your kindness will always be remembered and appreciated. |

Yes, thank you Eriedearie! Two spinal fractures and some other trauma to her neck and spine, but she is going to be OK. She is home from the hospital and hopefully on the mend! |

Thames, I'm so glad to hear that your daughter is going to be all right. I hope that you find your Charlie. I have a young daughter driving every day, and it renews my faith in mankind to think there are good people still out there looking after our children when we can’t be there. |

Thank you all for the well wishes! I'd like to gush about "our" Charlie just once more: Her purse went a flyin' on impact and the contents dumped. He picked it all up and put it back in her purse for her. That includes her wallet, which had her ID and over $100 in it (gas & bill money for 2 wks) and her phone, which he used to call me. Charlie will surely go to heaven! |

Thames- Glad to hear things are working out. I suggest you write to Steven Henderson at the Freep. He has always written back to me when I have written to him, and he is always looking for something positive to report. shenderson600@freepress.com |

Thames, that is fantastic! Fantastic that your daughter is healing within her time frame and doing so well. Also fantastic that you found Charlie! What are the odds? Did this forum have anything to do with the discovery? |
