I don't know if they do now, but that would have been so awesome back then. Maybe it was situations such as this that brought that kind of service into existence?!?!?<br /><br />I do have an index of all the chapters, but it sounds like you've already read them all. The index is located <a href="" rel="nofollow">here.</a> I've just submitted the entire book to the US Copyright Office (YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), and so the entire book (which is short) will be available in e-format soon. I'll put links to that on the index page as soon as I cross that hurdle.<br /><br />Best wishes to you in the coming year, too, and keep doing that magnificent work you are doing! I can tell you from experience, what you are doing truly does make a difference.Snowcatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06360228352528558176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672125489692725745.post-65713400290697246002013-01-03T17:26:12.686-07:002013-01-03T17:26:12.686-07:00I am new to your site as of today…so I don’t know ...I am new to your site as of today…so I don’t know if you share a new chapter each week or ??? I read everything in one sitting this morning! Please continue to add more or share where I may find your complete writings!<br />I am an emergency room social worker in a level 1 pediatric trauma center. We have children in need from a several hundred mile radius flown in to our facility each day. We are next door to the adult trauma hospital and we often seem to "share" families! The parents go next door and the kiddos come to us. So, I go to the parent’s bedside to get a name/number of an adult to call to come be with their child….and I try to share what the docs have said about the child's injuries along with something their little one said or did, or how entertaining they are for the staff, or polite, or helpful...beautiful red hair...whatever to make it clear I am talking specifically about their baby….all in an effort to ease parents hearts so they can let medical staff take care of them…. and then I take back ‘mom and dad words’ to the kids....they know when you quote their loved one exactly! It's nice to hear that you gained comfort from the officer....wish you hadn't had to wait so long. Children are generally transported first, so I am ready when the adults land next door…..I am usually next to the parent's bedside in the trauma bay while they are cutting the clothes and starting IV's...I try to be quick and have something positive to say. If nothing positive is possible, I tell them I will remain at their child's side until they or a family member take my place....and I will continue to pop in as I can to give them updates. I know that's what I would want. I am so thankful you and your babies were okay...well, relatively okay! I want to hear more! Bless you and may this year be a good one for us all. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672125489692725745.post-62415288493125540102013-01-03T15:53:33.670-07:002013-01-03T15:53:33.670-07:00Oh, man, Patty!

Your memories have triggered some of my own from the mid-80s when we totaled our Subaru sedan, or rather, a semi on Interstate 80 did. How frightening.<br /><br />Happy New Year to you - I wish you all the best in 2013!Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745889026665681137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672125489692725745.post-77501039344083688872013-01-03T14:53:38.481-07:002013-01-03T14:53:38.481-07:00Sounds like you had a sensitive, caring police off...Sounds like you had a sensitive, caring police officer to ask you what happened.
