for my brother...

I'm proud of you.
Thank you for putting your life on the line
for often ungrateful people.
I love you.

Oh.. you're a firefighter?? That's cool. 
I wanted to do that 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'm cutting you out of a car. 
I can make 5 minutes seem like a lifetime when I go in a burning house to save your family. 
I make those annoying sirens seem like angels when you need them. 
I can make your children ...............breathe when they stop. 
I can help you survive a heart attack. 
I make myself get out of bed at 3am to risk my life to save people I've never met. 
Today I might make the ultimate sacrifice to save your life. 
I make a difference, what do you make?"
