As usual, Rob has something tremendously powerful to say. I still can't believe that the bombings happened.
Last night after my hockey game, I saw Andrea standing outside of the center rink watching what I assumed was a game still in progress. I walked up to her and saw paramedics doing cpr and other things with tubes to a man who had, only minutes before, been playing hockey. Now he was lying there, in front of bench, hovering between life and death as a team of folks worked hard to save him. We watched for 15, maybe 20 minutes as I gathered he was in the over 35 league, he must be in his 50's or 60's I thought. Young people don't have heart attacks or whatever it is that's causing him this pain. Finally, they out him on the strecher as the paramedic climbed on top to continue CPR. Instead of the grey hair I expected, I saw a young man, not too much older than me, with a tube down his throat, wearing his hockey pants. I guess his teammate had removed his skates. I don't know if he lived or died.
