Putting the “F” Back in You

by JHSEsq

You should be pre­pared to be very moved by today’s Post of the Day. Bryan is the blog’s author that is named Putting the “F” Back in You. And when the blog was nom­i­nated we laughed at its name. We actu­ally expected to read a humor­ous post. But we did not. As a mat­ter of fact we can think of no post that we have ever read more seri­ous than this one. Bryan is a hero. His day didn’t seem to be any dif­fer­ent than any other day, but then, “I pulled into the dri­ve­way of a new cus­tomer, a one time treat­ment for fleas. As I got out of my truck, I heard a man yelling at the top of his voice, call­ing some­one a bitch, a whore, white trash, scum; and who knows what else. As I got to the door, I waited for the yelling to cease. I then heard what sounded like a slap. All kinds of thoughts were run­ning through my mind at this point; like open­ing the door unan­nounced and find­ing out who this man was beat­ing on.”

What did Bryan do? What would you do? We won’t tell you more except that we all have defin­ing moments in life. We get involved or turn away. We can hon­estly say that we would not be hon­est to say we would have reacted the way Bryan did. Until you are in some­one else’s shoes, you just do not know. The post is titled Can You Help Me Please? There has been no bet­ter post that The Ris­ing Blog­ger has awarded, in our opin­ion. Bryan states in his pro­file, “Be truth­ful from your heart to your mouth when you speak.” But he is so much more than a truth­ful guy. We our very proud to have had the chance to award this post. Bravo, Bryan!

Bryan is my “everyday” hero, he is true to his word, and shameless wouldn’t take any credit for what he did…he doesn’t see it as saving anyone just doing what he does…….. and that’s only one reason why I call him my hero..
Kudos baby

You picked a great post, Bud. Powerful and real. As I told Bryan on his blog, he is a credit to the human race.

Outstanding post. Outstanding winner.

I couldn’t find a way to post a message on Bryan’s blog. Perhaps I overlooked it. A powerful post. I sure hope he’s able to help the woman get away. So sad that anyone has to ever intervene in such a situation. Would that they never happened.
