soooooooooo true. i'm tellin you there's nothing like a city official knocking on your door at 2:30 in the morning telling you to get ready because he's there to take you to the hospital because your boyfriend/husband has been hurt in a fire. or being at a fire he's fighting and not knowing where he's at...is he on the other side of the house changing his air tank or is he still in there...because the last two minutes since you've seen him safe seem like an hour has passed. i can deal with these things more than i could if i were called while he was supposed to be working at the police department. that really scares me. there are some bad people out there. he doesnt talk about fights or shootings much. i guess he doesnt want to scare me.
these things keep you up at night. it doesnt cross your mind during the day because you have things to distract you and everything seems safer during the day. at night it is more dangerous and things run through your head like...what would i do if he didnt come home in the morning...
it also teaches you to never take a moment for granted and if you do...you feel really bad for it.
