A Rescue Story

What is the relationship between a rescuer and the person being rescued? I believe after someone has an accident and is saved, they tend to develop a new kind of relatiopnship with their rescuer. Not necessarily thanks and admiration but also the feeling of wanting to pay back.

Some rescues have been because it was the rescuers job i.e. police, firefighters etc. Some were because it is their loved one and they were ready to lay down their lives for their loved ones (unconditional love). Some were because of a good samaritan who could just not pass by and watch the suffering without doing something.

Now after being rescued surely the person being rescued does not just say thank u and walk off. Some people build relationships from casual friendship to going as far as marrying their rescuers. I think even if others disagree, that circumstances bring people together and as much as they may leave scars, both physical, mentally and emotionally, It can be a good thing.

This is an unbreakable bond brought by through an accident. It is a true story. A school bus taken students on a trip had an accident (how it did, I don't know). In it was a girl who was barely hurt but couldn't get out. A good samaritan passing by saw the girl and risked his life to save her. He hurt himself saving her with a cut to his forehead (or so I heard, but I know he was hurt). As he saved her, he bled unto her shirt. After saving her she asked how she could thank him and he said there is nothing he wants for what he did. And she asked if they could be friends and he said yes. She took of the bloody t-shirt and has kept is as it was as a token of her appreciation.

A bloody but touching story! Tell me you are not wiping a tear right now!
