October 12, 1996: The Day That Changed Everything

16 years ago today, a friend of mine named David came to Atlanta, and we spent the day at Six Flags.

16 years ago tonight, he headed back to Auburn, but he didn't get very far.

16 years ago tonight, a helicopter landed on the interstate to rescue my friend.

16 years ago, my friend became my hero.  7 months later, my friend became my fiance.  14 1/2 months later, my friend became my husband.

16 years later, he's still my hero, my husband, and my friend.
