My Hero ; My Husband

Day after day, night after night, my husband of almost 25 years goes out the door and I tell him as he goes " BE CAREFUL I LOVE YOU" because I may not see him return,he has chosen to serve the public in his profession as a firefighter with the Opp Fire Department, and in his spare time he serves with Opportunity EMS. He chooses to leave the comfort of his home and face whatever danger is ahead in the night.Weather someone is in need of emergency medical help, or there is a elderly person that has fallen, or someones home is on fire, he goes, no questions asked except "Where we going?" I had the opportunity a week or so ago to see him in action, we were coming back from Walmart, and his fire pager went off so we headed for the scene. I stayed in the car and he just jumped into action, as I read a verse or two from my Bible and said a prayer for whom ever was the victim of the accident we had just pulled up at,and Jeffery took his place as part of the team that is the OFD. They worked as a well oiled machine finishing each others thoughts,Jeffery also jumped in as part of the OEMS team, they gently but quickly removed the patient and got her ready for transport by helicopter off the scene and all with out any trouble or incident. I was amazed as I watched this man I call my best friend for 25 years do "his thing" I was so proud and thanked God for allowing me the honor of seeing all this unfold before me. God has given my husband the ability to feel other peoples pain or help where it is needed. Now I know why he is not only my husband but MY HERO!!!!
