Don't Go Before I Do

Richard

I was walking with Paul when I saw a large explosion and Paul got thrown from the blast. I ran over to him. I called for help as I was running. I could tell he was hurt bad.

He had been walking by a window of a store. He had a large piece of glass sticking out of his chest. He was looking in the window. I should say. He had glass embedded all over him. The one in the chest was the deepest.

There was a deep one in his neck as well. When he got knocked back he ended up with a head injury. I could tell that needed stitches. I kissed him.

"Please, don't die on me Paul, I love you. More then you will ever know."

"I went to check for others that were hurt. I found two children one seemed to have a broken leg and the other a broken arm. I helped them to where Paul was. I then found more people. I helped them.

Help came and I was told it looked like a terror attack. I finally broke down and cried. I knew it wasn't good.

I was told the glass in the neck missed his arteries. He lost so much blood when they took the glass out of his chest that they had to give him blood. Then he wasn't breathing on his own. He had a thing down his throat to help him breathe. The landing broke his right wrist and ribs. Also it broke his right collar bone. He had to have 20 staples in his head. They lost him twice.

They got all the glass out of him. I was sitting with him and crying. I knew that he might not make it. They checked for brain activity and found non. But, it was too soon to tell.
