So you're a firefighter?
"Oh, so you're a firefighter? I wanted to be one of those 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 am cutting you out of your car. I can make 5 minutes feel like a lifetime when I go into a burning house to save your family. I make those annoying sirens sound like Angels singing when you need them. I make your children breathe after they have stopped. I can make you survive a heart attack. I make myself get up at 3am to go risk my life for people I have never met, and never ask for a thank you. I make a difference. What do you make?
