Hero

This is the face of a hero.  My hero.  Here's the story:

While driving to work one ordinary morning, a teen-ager rushing to school turned left without even looking and crashed right into David.  For some reason in that split second as it was happening, David had one single thought and he knew he could not "t-bone" into that car.  He somehow managed to turn his car slightly, hitting the car in the front rather than hitting it straight on the passenger side.  This meant that his car, thus himself, took the brunt of the impact.  Immediately after the crash, he got out of his car to check on the passengers of the other vehicle.  The driver of the other car was fine.  He said there were no passengers.  It wasn't until he knew everyone else was fine that David realized he himself wasn't fine.  That would later turn out to be a broken neck.  And it would turn out later there WAS a passenger in the car.  Because the driver had only a provisional license and wasn't suppose to have other passengers, he had lied.  An unbuckled female had been sitting in the passenger side.  

If David wouldn't have turned his car, she would have been severely injured.  Or even dead.

And without even knowing, or questioning, and putting himself at so much more risk, 

he followed his instinct and saved a life.  

Because that's who he is.  

And he's my hero.
