Married to a Heroic Bystander

A week or so ago I wrote about Fireworks and Teenagers and what Mike did to put the fire out. Well, this last weekend we received a letter on our door. Every house in the neighborhood actually received this letter. It's from the boys who started the fire - - Here is what it said...

"Dear Neighbors of Brownstone,
Last week at about 4:15pm, me and my two friends, Daniel and Karin were playing with fireworks. We were lighting fire crackers when a wild fire cracker flew across the creek and into a pile of cattails. In a few seconds they were on fire. A heroic bystander soon ran over and started smothering the flames with dirt. Karin threw me the plastic bucket we had the fire crackers in. I filled it water from the stream and started pouring it over the fire. After about two minutes the fire truck came and the fire was out. I'm very sorry and apologize for my actions. Sincerely, Patrick "

I appreciate that the kids apologized for their actions and left the note. I also thank the parents for making the kids write the letter.

Mike loved that he was mentioned in the letter as being Heroic - what a guy!!
