Lion Submits to Loving Wife
"The lion eventually let go and, with blood on its snout, stood staring at the woman. She screamed and waved the log until the animal walked away." It wasn't a burly weight-lifting young thing who made the mountain lion back down. It was a 65-year-old lady who will be celebrating her 50th wedding anniversary next month, and she was saving the life of the man she loves.
A news piece on MSNBC explains that Nell and Jim Hamm, experienced hikers, were hiking in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park in California when the lion pounced on Jim. According to the article, Nell said, "Jim was talking to me all through this, and he said, 'I've got a pen in my pocket and get the pen and jab him in the eye,'" Nell continued, "So I got the pen and tried to put it in his eye, but it didn't want to go in as easy as I thought it would." MSNBC stated that when the pen became bent and no longer useable, Nell went back to using the log and successfully stunned the lion with her attack, making the lion give up her beloved Jim.
Never underestimate the life-long love of a brave woman.

This is a great story! It amazes me what people will do in such extreme situtations. I read the whole story and believe me, that grandma has a heck of a lot of spunk! I don't think women half her age could have pulled off this rescue! :)
I love reading stories like this. It inspires me on so many different levels. Once again it shows how no matter what happens in life, you can pull through anything!
