i'm so proud of Charlie.
we were on our way home from our triple-stop grocery trip.
the car directly in front of us suddenly swerved on the highway.
we then saw it was a huge, 100-lb metal grate that has flown out of a car in front of them.
she swerved past 2 lanes of traffic and hit the concrete road divider head-on and ended up facing oncoming traffic.
i started dialing 911 and Charlie jumped out of the car, ran across 3 lanes of interstate traffic to check on her. she was miraculously okay so he ran around the highway picking up pieces of her car and clearing the road for everyone else. he waited for the police to arrive to tell them what happened and showed the woman what she had almost hit.
she said it almost went through her windshield.
i am 100% positive if it had hit her windshield she would have died.
When we left Charlie said he was disappointed that not very many people stopped to help.
i, on the other hand, thought it was amazing the we, a lady behind us, and another man all stopped to help.
But maybe that's what makes Charlie so special... that he wouldn't think twice about helping someone in a need and it comes so naturally to him that he doesn't understand when more people don't.
I love you, Charles Wilson.

- My best friend Charlie and I moved from the deep South to the great North for me to go to graduate school at the University of Minnesota. I earned a Masters Degree in Public Health Nutrition and Dietetics, and we've moved back to Louisiana. I'm a dietitian who wants to help people improve their quality of life through healthy eating! We love adventures, traveling, food and family. We have two dogs: our corgi Punkin and our lab goofy Rufus. We are very blessed to be in love and to walk through life together!
