MCMC Calling Paramedic 3498...
Nothing Heard...
Today, the 20th of April, 2011 EMS bids farewell to a partner, a colleague, an instructor, a friend. Walking into the Church shoulder to shoulder with brothers all in dress. Today was one of the most difficult moments in life that I will not soon forget. On the right side of the church, we have pews filled with family members. On the left side of the church, an ocean of blue and white, a wide range of ranks, gold bars, silver bars, no bars, all on the same level today. The back doors opened, the honour guard marches in with tears in their eyes..
Three days ago I was awoken at 2am by a phone call, we had lost one of our own, a person who I looked up to and admired. They lived and breathed EMS, it was their life, they were always a shoulder to lean on after a bad call, a friendly smile to cheer you up on those not so good days and a ear to listen to what you have to say. Losing one of our own, it saddens me deeply. I wish there was something I could do, something I could have done..
I apologies now for this blog, I don't mean to make someone upset or sad or mad at me posting, its a way for me to express my feelings and perhaps feel just a little better..
This ones to you 3498..
As I perform my duties, Oh God,
whatever be the call,
help to guide me and keep me safe
from danger large and small.
I want to serve and do my best,
no matter what the scene.
I pledge to keep my skills refined
and my judgment quick and keen.
The calling to give of myself,
most do not understand.
But I stand ready all the time,
to help my fellow man.
To have the chance to help a child,
restore their laugh with glee.
A word of thanks I may not hear,
but knowing is enough for me.
The praise of men is fine for some,
but I feel truly blessed
that you, Oh God, have chosen me
to serve in EMS
Rest well friend..
