A VERY PROUD HUSBAND

http://www.gosafeglasgow.com

This blog is a little different to what has been before on The Reinvention.

I am Angela’s husband. Her very proud husband.

I went along with Angela today to meet Glasgow City Council. They are looking to work collaboratively, using Angela’s story to help produce road safety and awareness material and information. I was merely there as moral support for my wife, to assist in any way I could.

Angela was asked to record on video what she went through that fateful night IN 2001, recalling all the horrific details of how she was knocked down by a driver high on drink and drugs, who had no interest in stopping to assist her, let alone admit his guilt at the terrible offences committed.

I know Angela’s story well, having heard her retell the incident both in a private setting and with those close to us and it has not lost one iota of impact on me each time. Sitting listening to her today, I went through a whole range of emotions – sadness, anger, frustration, sympathy, hurt.

But above all else, pride.

Words cannot express how proud I am to be the person who gets to share the rest of their life with someone as special as Angela. Not only has she had to face so many challenges and difficulties in her life but she has done so with an unwavering strength and courage, of which she will never give herself enough credit for.

And now, she is using her experiences to help others. To help those who have suffered life-changing injuries and those close to them, to help promote road safety awareness, to help share her positive message of triumph over injury.

I will be there, standing proudly, with her every step of the journey.
