Difficult Work Week

This week is going to be difficult for a number of reasons.

Last week, one of our firemen died in a non-work related accident. He was working on a vehicle when the jack slipped and the vehicle fell on him, cutting off his air supply for quite a long time. He was kept alive for awhile and when it was determined he would not recover, life support was withdrawn. The family donated his organs so that others might live on.

If that weren't bad enough, one of our policemen had a child die on Friday. The child had a medical condition however the death was unexpected at this time.

Tonight I will have to go to both visitations and tomorrow attend one or the other funeral since they are happening at the same time.

It's really a shame and makes you think about life and how quickly and unexpectedly it can end.
