ok i know first hand how hard it is . we sit down to dinner and the pager goes off, its 3 am and we are sound asleep and the pager goes off, hes outside rakeing leaves and the pager goes off. im not complaining, not in the least im proud of him.he puts his life on the line to help others in trouble . i do have one rule he is never ever to leave with out saying i love u and good bye. it could be something simple as burned dinner, but it could be worse it could be a fully involved house fire. i dont want to take any chances i need him to know i love him.
its not easy to be the wife/girlfriend of a firefighter. it is worry and lots of prayers. its being scared that he will get hurt. or even worse not come home.you need to enjoy the time together. and we do we act like teens in lust most of the time. when we do argue it is over something stupid.but u bet your ass if he gets a call i get my i love u in befor he leaves .and its not only him its the other guys to at the firehouse, i wouldnt want any of them to get hurt. or any firefighter for that matter. but he is my heart i would be lost without him.
we have gone thru a lot of shit this past year. last year at this time we wernt even speaking and i thought it was over. but it has all changed . it has gotten stronger we have an unbreakable bond. i depend on him. i miss him when hes not here. im not saying i dont look at othe guys im human and hey if hes a hottie im gonna look just like him hes gonna look . but i dont worry i know i have his heart just as he has mine. heck he even points them out to me lol.
it just mystefies me how many people just dont think that the firefighter has a family too. the drunk that was in a wreck and crashed into a tree at 3 am, the soccer mom that burned her familys dinner ,(as his sits on the table getting cold)heres a hint dont drink and drive and learn how to cook. im afraid of that day that its more than a burned dinner , or the fluid spill, im agraid of the fully involved fire, im afraid of the other drunk at the accident driving along trying to see what happened and crashing into the firemen trying to do their job . im afraid of the person not pulling over for the flashing lights and sirens, im afraid of the idiot running a light or stop sign and crashing into the fire truck .
but it doesnt end there they do lots of good besides the fires and wrecks that isnt appreciated . filling a truck with toys for chrismas ,decorating a truck with lights and bringing santa around to deliver toys. most of the firefighters are volenteer they do it cause they want to they dont get paid. the payment they get is the child they make smile , or the gratitude of a family that just had the house saved from a bigger fire. yes i worry and i pray . i always will. but i will deal with it cause i love him.
