Endings

Friday was my last day as a Firefighter. The day itself was rather run of the mill. Nothing special happened as far as emergencies go, however I spent the majority of the day soaking wet thanks to the brothers. It's okay though, they were awful wet too.

I ended my career with mixed feelings. Part of me is very excited to take the next steps in my life. I can't help feeling regret about leaving the job and my friends behind. I think leaving the fire department was one of the most difficult things I've ever done. Imagine leaving a place where you: 1) love to go to work 2) work with the best friends you've ever had, and 3) do a job you love doing.

I will never forget all of the great experiences I had there, and I know I will always turn my head and think of them whenever I hear the wail of sirens in the distance.

Plus, riding on big red trucks is about one of the coolest things in the world.
