My Brother Saved a Life Today

A Salute to Truth and Beauty

A True Story
by Graystone

Twenty two years, a professional waiter, at one of the cities premiere restaurants. On his station, giving the gift of love.
The party sat, stunned, she tried to gasp, the lack of oxygen overrode her muscle control and she began to slump.
Loving your job, and doing it well, matter.

The following is an actual excerpt from an Email received by Graystone today from his brother, this will make the message/story much longer than the indicated 50 words, Merry Christmas....
Work has been very busy, and I still have one more shift before I can sit back and really enjoy the season. I had to perform the
heimlich(spelling?) on an older lady last night at work, the first time in my 22 years of restaurant work. I was amazed at how everyone with this woman panicked and looked completely at loss as to what they should do,as the lady began to turn blue. Afterwards this poor woman was so embarrassed and of course her family was very grateful, and the rest of my customers were just happy things did not end in tragedy. She had reached the point of loss of muscle control and was not even able to assist me in helping her stand up. Thank goodness every thing worked out, and that I was not in the kitchen doing other things when this happened. It shows you how quickly any situation can turn from relaxed and at ease to desperate and dire.
