One voice does make a difference ...
When my soon died, a chain reaction started with a tap on my shoulder. "Did I know that other kids also went there to goof off?" No, I didn't. But at that tap, I knew that I was going to lead the charge to prevent another accident ... another death. A year later, I watched a huge bridge collapse into the San Francisco Bay, just as my son had fallen unconscious. An event that wouldn't be repeated--at least not there ... and because I decided to step out of my routine and fight for other kids ... and parents. Your voice always counts.
Book Excerpt
When God Says NO ...
It was truly a marvel. Once standing as a monument to engineering, its steel girders all powerful and impenetrable, yet the great bridge fell swiftly to its grave. A series of detonations exploded its base. It fell as I imagined Frank had fallen: suddenly. The entire tower sections simply disappeared into the Bay. Once again, I saw Frank in my mind’s eye, slipping unconsciously into the depths. The experience was quite surreal, as if someone in a penthouse had pushed the elevator button for the lobby and dropped forty floors.
We heard a rumble, delayed a few seconds for time to carry the sound of the explosion. Then it was gone. The bridge was gone. Just like Frank. Here and real, one instant; enveloped in silence the next. My mission was accomplished.
With its demise, a thank-you escaped my lips.
