My husband, the hero!

Matt and I have sort of created a little routine when he comes home from work. Miss Chunky greets him excitedly at the top of the basement stairs and then Parker and I give him hugs and kisses. He brings his lunch box and water bottle into the kitchen and then changes out of his uniform. After he is all settled, we have the "how was your day?" conversation. They normally are pretty boring and consist of funny stories about what Parker has done that day and anything he can find interesting about his day. Well last week Matt when we sat down in the living room to chat and watch some TV, Matt had quite the story about his day!

He received a phone call at the office with a women in hysterics on the other end. She said that her son was in the Navy and stationed overseas ( leaving that detail out) and had just called her to say goodbye because he had just taken an entire bottle of pills. She was so scared and didn't know what else to do but call the local Navy office here in town. Matt, not knowing if this was a prank or not (they get lots of prank calls) gets online and finds a phone number to the overseas base. He told the person that answered the situation and asked what to do. The man on the phone gave Matt another number to call. That number was disconnected. Matt then called the original number and a Chief answered. Matt told the Chief the situation and the Chief said they would take care of it. A few hours later, Matt got a phone call from that base thanking him because they found the man and was able to get him to the hospital in time to save his life.

Now, that's not a story you hear everday! Matt had the biggest grin on his face when he finished the story because he knew he saved that man's life! I'm so glad Matt decided to take action when that mother called instead of brushing her off. He is truly a hero in my eyes!!
