Twice in my life I’ve relied on EMTs. Both times, I was traumatized, desperate, and helpless. Both times, they showed up, took care of my loved ones, and were kind and fearless when I was terrified. There is no end to the gratitude I have for the people who do this vital work.
It takes a special kind of person be an EMT. They show up every day not knowing what they will encounter, ready to help where they can, be as kind as possible, and stabilize dire situations so people can get to to care they need.
Even in war zones, EMTs charge in where others run away. It’s extraordinary.
This is my ode to EMTs, who make living in the unpredictable world we share, easier, safer, and bearable in the toughest moments we face.
Every November, I dedicate 30 days to gratitude. This year I’m focusing on what we share. This is Day 12 of My Gratitude Project, and in week 2, I’m focused on the presence of strangers around us. You can follow along here.
