Aw!! You guys made me smile!!! Thanks!! I was crying a bit cause I got a text message that he'd just gotten back from a double fatality...I know it's his job but I wish he didn't have to see that kind of stuff...it kills me that I can't be there for him...he's been at the station for over 48 hours now...

But he is a hottie isn't he

No he doesn't have a brother, if he did then he'd have competition

I'm not planning on letting him go

Yes!!! Chief finally realized how long he'd been at the station and sent him home!!! He's been there for 62 of the last 78 hours!!!

Melissa, my husband is in medical school and works ungodly hours and sees death and sickness everyday...so I know how you feel. I know if it was me, I would be so depressed all the time seeing the things that my hubby sees, but like your boyfriend, this is the profession they have chosen and it takes an extra special person to do what they do. They can handle it. They are used to the long hours and to the horrors they see. Let's just be thankful for people like them that can handle these things and can do the jobs they do, because I know that I could never do it!

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
