I remembered this morning that there is going to be a little boy turning 6 today thanks to me. Hard to believe it’s been that long...
Sept 17 2005 I got off work at 7am after a twelve hour shift and went home to tinker in my garage before a nap. I was working on the stern drive of the old glass boat I had but ran out of steam before I had the drive completely off. So since the trailer tongue was hanging out the garage door I decided to just close my sliding security gate down by the alley. I had a white car trailer made out of an old single post lift sitting down there, the tongue was sitting on a couple chunks of wood stacked up.
I remember looking down at the wood and think that it didn't look the same as when I had last seen it and noticed a set of tiny fingers underneigth. At first I thought it was a possum but after a double take realized it was a baby. I knelt down and moved the wood and there was a perfect little boy covered in dirt and blood with grass in his mouth. I scooped him up, touched my lips to his forhead to check his temp and he was cool, then took him across the street to the neighbors place since there daughter was a EMT since no one was at home except me.
Seems wierd remembering the funny looks I got when I said over and over again that I'd just found a live baby under my car trailer. To the neighbor, her husband, daughter, EMT's when they showed, then later to the cops, wife and finally the big city news people in the evening. One of the best and worst days of my life so far.
