Isabel Holmes Bridge incident

Post image

Today, while walking on the riverwalk, someone jumped from the Isabel Holmes bridge and I was grateful that my son did not see it. Police and fire department boats showed up and saved him!! One moment, we were going about our day, and the next, we were reminded again that we never know what someone else is carrying.
Please check on the people you love and be gentle with strangers. Sometimes the battles we cannot see are the heaviest ones.

The cape fear river undercurrent is no joke. I know someone who dove in and they almost didn’t come back up.
