Your post brought tears to my eyes. I’m so glad he’s okay. And you have every reason to be proud of your sons and your hubby! I can only barely imagine how tough it is to be the wife of a fire fighter, much less how tough it is to be a fire fighter! I think you have to be “called” to that special position.

Thanks for this amazing post. Really does make you stop and think about all those people who make such great sacrifices for others. God bless you and your family!!!!

I remember the first call my dad got to respond to a fire when I was just a kid. I remember him sitting in that truck and the look on his face as they rolled out, lights and sirens blazing.

I wondered if he was coming back.

He did, and he’s come back every time since then. This post reminded me of that day. For me (and for our family), it’s gotten easier as time goes by. I hope it gets easier for you too.

FWIW, my firedad’s son (my firebro?) grew up and became a firefighter too

was thinking of you and the boys today when we went to “fire truck park” –posted a silly little thank you on Flickr. This post really drives home the reality of fire life. I was going to get H a fire costume on crazy8, but they didn’t have his size. He may yet be a “fire dog” for Halloween instead!

What a great pic! If he tried, I don’t think he could look more like the hero walking out of the blaze at the end of a movie to tears and applause. Glad everyone hung in there – you included!!
