Taking Charge Missy's Way Chapter One It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining and the day was warm. It was Mother's Day and I was sitting in a small cafe in clean texas thinking about how much I missed my mom. I was ordering lunch and coffee. When I got a call from my friend George I answered my phone. Hello George. I'm on the way home. I planned on stopping by on the way to the apartment. Is everything okay? George replied, yes, but I need to talk to you. How far away are you? About an hour or so? I'll bring dinner when I arrive okay? You don't have to take care of me, you know? But if you want to bring dinner I won't complain. He chuckled. Be careful, he said, and then hung up. George is such a sweet man. I remember the day George came into my life as if it were only yesterday instead of three years ago. He's an older gentleman. He's an attorney who had retired but still does some work from his home. I met him one Tragic Day in March of 1982. I was returning home from a weekend ride with some friends When we came upon a traffic accident, a great cadillac had gone off the road into a tree. I called 911 and rushed to help, but sadly the woman driving wasn't breathing and I pulled the door open and pulled the lady out and started CPR. The man had hit his head on the windshield and was bleeding, joe and charlie pulled. The gentleman out of the car and were trying to calm him down. As he was frantic about his wife I felt the lady's heart beat but it was faint. The ambulance showed up and took over and I went over to help the gentleman. He had a broken arm and blood was pouring from his head even though he was in pain. All he wanted to do was to get to his wife. I helped hold him back while they worked on his wife and a second ambulance showed so I helped him get into it and told him that he would see her at the hospital. I asked his name and he told me it was George and his wife was Sophie he looked so lost that I offered to ride with him to the hospital. He was so upset and so worried that I just couldn't let him go by himself. I told joe and charlie to go home and I would call them later. I told George that they were taking great care of her but he needed to get to the hospital so he could see his wife. He asked me to check on his wife so I walked over and the E. M. T. Shook his head and said it would be a miracle if she pulled through. I went back to George and I told him they were working on her they were doing everything they could and they were heading to the hospital. He had tears running down his face. I asked if I could ride with him and the E. M. T. Said yes I held his hand while they cleaned up his head and put a brace on his arm. They wrapped his ribs and they wanted to start an I. V. But George said not until he saw his wife. He told them that until he knew if she was okay only then would he get treatment. So we went to the hospital and they helped him in a wheelchair. I told them I take care of him. The E. M. T. Talked to the nurse and they said that he could go see his wife. I knew then that she must have not made it. I pushed George into a room and a nurse and a doctor were there. George saw his wife and he cried. The doctor said they did everything possible but her heart had given out. They suspect that she had a heart attack while driving and that was what caused the accident. I stayed with George until he was ready to leave. I insisted he get checked out by the doctors and then I would take him home. I stayed with him while the doctors checked him out. He had a concussion, broken ribs, a broken arm and a deep cut on his forehead and he needed to have stitches. The nurse and the doctor were worried about how he was going to handle losing his wife. So they kept him overnight. I stayed until they got him to his room and I told him I'd be back to check on him in the morning. He said it didn't matter. Nothing mattered now.
