SCARY STUFF!!

You can imagine my emotion when I got a call from my husband with sirens in the back and he said "hey turn on the news I'm heading down there right now. I love you and I will call when I can." CLICK Dial tone. Then I turn on the news and see this:



I don't do well under pressure and I am extremely emotional and it was pretty scary thinking that he was inside that building and not knowing how bad it was and what was happening. Needless to say when he called me 3 hours later to let me know all was well and that the fire was under control and that everyone was safe, I was filled with such relief.

Those 3 hours felt like forever and I kept thinking to myself how much I love my husband and proud I am that he is the type of man that would go in there and gladly risk his life to save others.

I would like to apologize to those of you that got stuck hearing me FREAK out and crying on the phones yesterday and I'd like to thank those of you that called to check in. It is so comforting to know that there is always family and friends thinking of you and that love you.

You make me laugh. I'll tell you what is scary is having a husband that is not even graduated yet and he comes home and all he can talk about is this fire. It puts into perspective just exactly what this job is all about. I too am greatful though that there are men and women who protect the rest of us!!
