It may take you two minutes to read this, but if you do not take the time to read this you are one of the people this post is talking about. You stay up for 16 hours Hes been for 48 straight _________________________ You take a warm shower to help you wake up. The rain in the middle of the interstate keeps him awake. __________________________ You complain of a "headache", and call in sick. He's chilled to the bone, hasnt eaten all day, has the flu, and then runs into a burning building __________________________ You drink your coffee on your way to the mall. He pumps on a five years olds chest on the way to the hospital. __________________________ You make sure you're cell phone is in your pocket. He makes sure the pass device on his pack is working. __________________________ You talk trash about your "buddies" that aren't with you. He watches his buddy fall through four floors. __________________________ You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls. He walks down the highway looking for the motorcyclist missing limb. _________________________ You complain about how hot it is. He wears fifty pounds of gear in the middle of july and drags a body out of 1600 degree flames. __________________________ You go out to lunch, and complain because the restaurant got your order wrong. He hasnt seen a meal since last shift ate breakfast. __________________________ Your maid makes your bed and washes your clothes. Hes worn the same stinking, wet, grungy clothes for the past 24 hours....no time for a shower. __________________________ You go to the mall and get your hair redone. He holds the hair of some college girl while shes puking in the back of the ambulance __________________________ You're angry because your class ran 5 minutes over. His shift ended 2 hours ago and he on for another 24 hours at a station thirty miles away. __________________________ You call your girlfriend and set a date for tonight. He calls his girlfriend to tell her he made it back alive....then leaves abrubtly for another fire. __________________________ You yell and scream at the engine that just past you beacuse they slowed you down. Hes in the back of the engine, going to cut somebody out of their car only to find out that their dead and their daughter is barely alive. __________________________ You roll your eyes as a baby cries. He cries as he hears his new born cry in the hospital....but he was taking a drunk teenager in when his boy was born. __________________________ You criticize your fire dept and say their never there quick enough anyways. He blows the air horn while the person in front of them refuses to move while talking on their cell phone and doing their makeup. __________________________ You hear the jokes about fallen firefighters and say they should have known better. He feels the floor give way while hes carrying an old lady from her bedroom and tosses her on to the hard floor and falls into the unknown. __________________________ You see the bright lights when you go by. He sees the broken bodies lying around the car. __________________________ You are asked to go to the store by your parents. You don't. He looks into buying a bullet proof vest because he's been shot at trying to save the shooting victims life. __________________________ You stay at home and watch TV. He takes his spare time to wash the wagon, restock the ambulance and maybe call his mother to tell her not to worry, he'll be home the next night __________________________ You crawl into your soft bed, with down pillows, and get comfortable. He tries to sleep on his spring board bed but keeps getting woken up by the gong and bell, ahh, one hour of sleep, it should do till tommorow night. __________________________ You sit there and judge him, saying that its a waste of money to have them around. Garbage truck workers make more than he does, but its not for the money, its for the people who dont appreciate what he does. ___________________________ If you support your local firefighters/emts/cops, repost this with a "A firefighters/emts/cops life" and say a prayer for all those who work in emergency services. If you don't support them well, then don't repost, it's not like you care any way

An Urgent Request..Please help me Current mood: sad Category: Friends Hi, Since you are reading this, and I got your attention, I need to ask for help! A friend of mine I go to school with, a real sweet, dear friend who is an all around good person. A person, who would give you the last crumb she had for herself, the last shirt on her back just to make sure you were fed and had warm clothes, is having a tough break. She was just diagnosed with Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) One of the rarest forms of breast cancer there is. It is also, the most rapidly spreading forms of cancer. Please take the time to read her story and help me and my classmates help her through your prayers and maybe donations. My friends name is Laquitia Franklin, she is in her 30's. Back in November, she discovered a lump in her breast. She just started a new job and did not have health insurance at the time. She had to wait to save up enough money to go to a doctor. When she went, she was told that she has 3 malignant tumors. 2 large ones in her breast and one in her armpit. She was scheduled for more tests and a biopsy during our winter break. When completed, she would start Chemo. In December, after even more tests, it was determined that the biopsy would need to be halted until after she completed 6 months of Chemo. While waiting for more test results to come back and because this is a rapid growing disease, it has now gone into her blood stream, liver, femur, and spine. Chemo, will only prevent it from continuing to spread as fast as it has but, will not kill the cells. Her Oncologist has explained that only 1-2% of people are diagnosed with it and it only has a 50% survival rate. It affects more of African American women than Caucasian women. She was given at most 2 years to live. I refuse to let that be her death sentence. Her Medicaid Has kicked in but she cannot get social security because, she is not 40. She recently applied for disability SSI but, who knows how long that will take to kick in. She has 3 daughters ages, 18, 12 and 10 and a one year old grandson. Her family, besides her two youngest daughters and her boyfriend, live in Tennessee. All she has is us, her school family. To read more about this horrifying cancer, please check out this website: http://www.komen.org/stellent/groups/public/ @ dallas/documents/-komen_site_documents/dsbcinflammatory.pdf You can also type in IBC or Inflammatory Breast cancer into the search engine to obtain more information. She is a brave woman, determined to finish the 2 and a half months of school we have left. She wants to become an EMT to help others. So, I am asking for your help and most of all your prayers. If you know of a way, I can start fund for her, so I can maybe ask for some donations to help her and her family please, please get in touch with me. We are already taking a collection up at school. We are also planning on writing to the Atlanta Journal Constitution with hopes, they can help. I feel that is not enough. Which is why I am reaching out to you. I really want to be there for her and her daughters.This is the only way I know how. Maybe, you know of foundations or organizations that are willing to help those who are like her. Or, maybe you want to help? I really am asking for your prayers, the power of prayer is a miraculous thing. But, if you can help me and my classmates do more, it would be much appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this. If all you can do is pray, then please, praying goes a long way. To contact me, please email me at simplyamie26@aol.com Thank you!
