My Hubby has always been my HERO,,,,,

[Just-Jack]

Now I'm not the only one that knows so...As you may recall a tornado ripped through our neighbohood on August 24th and brought with it most of the trees that had decorated our yards for many years. After getting our yard mostly cleared with the help of our neigbors on the left side of our house we had voulnteered to help our neighbor on the right side of us.Dave had broke his back a couple of years ago and was unable to lift anything heavy. We had made the day to help clean up on Saturday. Dave had decided on Thrusday that he would get a jump start on cleaning the trees and brush up before the big clean up on Saturday. Jack was outside on the cell phone when he heard screams coming from the next yard. He did not hesitate on busting through the shrubs that lined our drive way and Dave's yard to see what the screaming was about. Jack's first thought was that Dave had cut himself with the saw. What he found was Dave was pinned under a half of a tree that he had proped up with a stick so as to not pinch the blade while cutting but the tree was also still attached the bigger part of the tree. The chain saw was stilling running. Jack turned the saw off and then reliazed that the tree had crushed Dave's leg and the tree was still on his leg. Jack first atempt to lift the tree was unsuccesful and Dave said "there is no way that you can lift it" and with the help of addreline:superman: Jack was able to lift the tree off of Dave and then he was able to call 911. The kids got pillows for him while they waited for ambulance. After Dave went to the hospital ,we ,all the kids and Jack and me went over and finished cutting the tree up and stacked the wood next to our garage. We were able to contact his family and locked up the house. We got a call on Saturday Thanking Jack and that he could not believe that he was able to lift the tree off of him.Dave is back home now and he went to the surgeon on Monday to see if pins will be needed for the crushed leg. This is the picture of the tree that fell on him and Jack lifted off.The big part of the tree that was knocked down was what Jack lifted[ATTACH]12193[/ATTACH] I always knew that HE WAS MY HERO....NOW THE NEIGHBOR KNOWS IT TO..

When in an emergency state we often can do things that we thought never possible, good for jack to put himself out like that, many others wouldn't have, he's a HERO #1. I just pray that it didn't hurt his back again, and blessing to Dave that he may heal well and quickly. We'll pray for you all.

I will have to see about getting him a bigger helment for X-mas but I dont have to worry to much he is pretty modest when it comes to things like this..
