He's the sweetest!!!

I know he can handle it, he's been at least a volunteer firefighter since he was 16, so he's used to seeing the death and carnage that comes along with some of those wrecks, he said the only time it really bothers him is when a kid's involved, but just cause he's used to it doesn't mean I am yet...I don't think I'll ever get used to it, luckily it doesn't happen too often...

Lissa,
Was the double fatality the wreck on I35 by Buda? I heard about that and it sounded terrible. I live in Austin and heard about it on the TV.

My brother-in-law is a firefighter in Oklahoma. Of course, I don't worry about him on a daily basis - but I do understand the stress that it creates living with it everyday.

My dad was a volunteer firefighter - we lived in a very small town and had only an occasional fire so it is not the same - but I know how it feels when they run off to fight a fire.

Good luck! You two look so great together!

Yeah, it was the wreck in Buda, I saw it on Fox News Austin, if you remember seeing a firefighter squatting next to the wreck that's my man.

I'm not planning on letting him go

Wha? I thought he got the board's approval!!!

Lissa, I'm so glad you've found yourself a good Christian man.

I worked as an EMT for 4 years, and saw my share of suffering and death during that time, too. What stands out though are those I was able to help. Saving just one makes all the ones you can't save worth it. Sometimes even when you lose a patient, you can be there for their loved ones when they so desperately need support too. It really is a very rewarding way to earn a living. I know you've got to be proud of your guy. I hope you can learn not to worry so you can simply enjoy what a great "catch" you've landed.
