i heart firefighters.

"Oh.. you're a EMT/ firefighter?? 
That's cool. I wanted to do that when I was a kid.
What do you make?"
"WHAT DO I MAKE?? 
I make holding your hand seem like 
the biggest thing in the world when I'm cutting you out of a car. 
I can make 5 minutes seem like a lifetime 
when I go in a burning house to save your family. 
I make those annoying sirens seem...
 like angels when you need them. 
I can make your children breathe when they stop.
I can help you survive a heart attack. 
I make myself get out of bed at 3am 
to risk my life to save people I've never met. 
Today I might make the ultimate sacrifice to save your life.
 I make a difference, what do you make?"
