As I was speaking with my therapist yesterday, I shared with her that I feel there seems to be an on going theme to my life right now and it has to do with being at the right place at the right time. It happened again...this time heading towards the reception following the beautiful service honoring the life of Lydia Janz, Chris's Grandma.
As we headed up the long stair case, I was a little nervous as I carried Cadence my 2 year old on my hip, with a few elderly folks and in front and a few more behind. The one making me the most nervous was the gentleman directly in front of me,as his legs started to shake about half way and just as he reached the last step, and I was about to make a silent sigh of releif,he slipped and fell backwards. As I gripped the railing with my right hand, while pinning Cadence between my hip and the wall, I caught the man, with my knees locked and my left arm extended, he kind of bounced off my impants and I held him for a few seconds before an able bodied person above, grabbed his arm and pulled him off of me. What a mess that could have been, Cadence and I in the middle of old folks dominos, and not the fun game with the spots or the pizza place!! But again, I was at right place at the right time, because God only knows the injuries that could have occured if me and my strong arms and legs and my sturdy impants weren't there. Cadence had a small bump on her head, and I don't think the older gentleman even knew what happened; it may have been the most "action" he's had in years:)You are welcome kind SIR!!!
