Aloha Pamela,

In July I was hurled to the ground by an SUV that backed up and ran over my right arm. The arm was hemorrhaging severely, and someone elegantly dressed knelt down on the bloody pavement and said, “I am a nurse. I am going to help you.”

Dear Pamela,

No matter how thankful I am in my life, pushing my blessings is not something that I would like to take for granted, but there are two unknown individuals involved in two separate incidents whom I need to give a big mahalo and God bless you.
