I Saved a Little Boy from Icy Water – and It Destroyed My Life Overnight

“People don’t read reports. They watch videos.”

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I could lose everything, and all because I’d saved a boy’s life.

“Can I still drive my route?”

He hesitated, then nodded. “Yes. For now.”

I climbed into my bus, and for a while, it felt like maybe I could just carry on like normal and wait for this to blow over.

I was wrong.

I could lose everything.

I pulled up to my first stop, but no one was there.

The corner where three siblings always waited, backpacks too big for their small frames, was empty. Their mom usually waved from the porch. Today, the porch was empty too.
