Bittersweet Day…
Got mixed feelings going on today. The department had the dedication ceremony for the new fleet of fire engines today and my old house got one of new rigs. Just over 6 months ago, the old one was wrecked in a fatal accident that killed our driver and a civilian. I was riding that rig at the time. The new rig was dedicated to Joe and has his picture etched on both sides. The ceremony brought a few things from that day to my rememberance, hence the mixed emotions. I’m happy and grateful to God to be alive with no physical harm existing from that day. Sometime today, hug your loved ones, call an old friend, write your Mom…tomorrow isn’t promised.

Ed, I, too, am with Fire/ Rescue and am sadly dishearteneed to hear of the recent loss of a fellow brother (civilian included). Seems you have your head up and are staying strong moving forward as should be. We know these things are going to happen, we just never think it will be us. Glad to hear you were not injured, however sad still. Peace be with you and yours… Cynthia
