Yesterday I received a note from my friend Rich in Maryland, who has recently become a firefighter and EMT (after a lot of training). He's already been helping others in his first year. He is my hero of the week. He used to be a barista at Starbucks and wanted to do something more for the world, so he went into training. What an incredible guy. Today's blog is about the message he sent, and and it is so incredibly moving and powerful.
Rich said: "I had someone on my ambulance over the summer that was quite unwell. Saw them on Tuesday, at the grocery store, looking at soups. I didn’t say hi, but it was an amazing site to me- that my hands are starting to return people to their ordinary lives."
He's also humble, too. I told him he is a hero to me, and he replied, "Thanks, but I see it as another job, it just has powerful outcomes."
THAT is a HERO
My friend Brice in Kentucky does the same, and he's another personal hero of mine. You'll read about him in a future post.
