Hey babes,
I have to tell you about my friend Kelly.
A few weeks ago she was home making pasta, totally normal Tuesday evening, when she heard shouting next door. Not normal shouting. The kind that makes you put the spoon down.
She went to check.
Her neighbours were standing in the garden holding their little girl. Limp. Lifeless. Two parents completely frozen in the worst moment of their lives.
Kelly didn't freeze.
She knew straight away what was happening. Started CPR, gave rescue breaths, got the parents to call 999 while she worked, kept going till the ambulance took over.
That little girl is alive today because of her.
Kelly told me about it almost a week later, dead casual, like she was telling me about her food shop. I just kept thinking — she'd saved a child's life and was acting like it was nothing.
But that's the bit that gets me. Kelly's not medical, she's just a mum. She'd done a free baby and child CPR course a while back (the one I run) and never thought about it again until the night she suddenly really, really needed it.
I think about her a lot. Not because what she did was extraordinary, but because it wasn't — any of us could be her. We just have to actually know how.
If anyone wants the free mini-series, just shout, I'll pop the link below. 💙
