The Scream

As a mom in today’s world, sometimes I stop and ask myself “where did I learn to make these compassionate decisions?”  As humans, we fundamentally have deep rooted values we have learned from our upbringing.  I was taught to be kind, compassionate, help others, and to stand up for things that are not right.

One memory that stands out in my mind from my childhood began with the sound of screaming.  I was sitting on the top bunk of my bed.  I heard a painful scream and then dead silence.  My mom and step dad Eddie were not home at the time, so I started to worry, wondering if they were okay.  About thirty minutes later they both returned home with blood all over their hands.  They explained to me how one of the neighborhood kids named Tony had gotten his hands caught in his bike chain.  They both helped to get his hands out.  I then realized the scream was from Tony.  Later that evening, Tony came by to thank my parents and told us he could have lost his finger if they had not helped him. That act of compassion and courage to do whatever they needed to do to save this boy, reflects on my decisions I make as a person today.  I am thankful for what they taught me from that situation.
