First Aid Course

I was on a 3-days First Aid Course from Monday to Wed as part of my job requirement. It was fun, not because the course was interesting, but because the trainer (a 75 year old grandpa) had many grandfather stories to tell us during the trainings. :)

What touched our hearts was the trainer's reason why he did not remarry after the passing of his wife at the age of 36. He said he promised her he would not remarry for the sake of his 2 children. His wife was suffering from late stage of cancer at that time but refused to go for fear that her children may suffer if her husband remarry. When he assured her that he will stay single for their children's sake she passed away peacefully on that same day. He kept his promise and stayed faithful, single handedly raise his 2 children. He is glad that his children loved and respected him for what he did for them.

The most important part of the course was the practical test on CPR or the 'kiss of life'. Hmmn.... well there is a trick to do a good job on that, and I guessed I have learned that by now'.... heheh. So now I am a certified First Aider. :D
