Today would have been Cassidy Wofford's 34th birthday. She tragically ended her own life on My 28, 2011. I detailed more about her life and my encounter with her in this post on the anniversary of her suicide. I am just trying to keep her memory alive in my own small way. It is easy for someone like her to be discarded and forgotten in the history of the universe.
Coincidentally, I ran into one of the other EMTs from the call where I assisted her this past Saturday. I hadn't seen him in a long time so we BS'd for quite a while. I brought up the subject of that call we were on because her birthday was approaching and he remembered it well from at least 13 years ago. I think he was a little surprised that I remembered her birthday, but at least I got someone else thinking about her. I will see the other EMT from that call tonight at my sportsman's club meeting. I'll see if I can get him aside to talk about her for a few minutes.
So Happy Birthday Little One. May you be spending it in the peace you deserve.
I will say a prayer.
