To Those I Love

To Those I Love
I became involved in emergency service work because there is a need for
people to help others who are in trouble. However, at times there are
calls to which I respond that are difficult to talk about - even with the
person that I love and trust most in the world.
 

Please Accept That

At times there are experiences I suffer which hurt me very deeply,
and I might bring my suffering home. Sometimes my feelings bother
me so much I can't talk about them. Maybe it's because I don't want
you to imagine what I've suffered, or maybe it's because I'm afraid
you won't fully understand the depth of  my feelings. During these
times I might become moody or irritable, and I may not seem
to care about your feelings or problems.
 

Please Accept That

You love me for who I am. I choose to do what I do because it is important
to me and to those I help. Although it is sometimes very difficult and
maybe even dangerous, I love doing what I do, and I do it well.
In short, I'm proud of  what I am, and I hope you are proud of me.
 

There are times though, when I feel I didn't do enough. Many people
depend on me. There are also times I get frustrated and angry at my
co-workers, myself, and the victims of tragedy. There are times when
the horrors I have to deal with just overwhelm me. That is when I
have to sort things out by myself, or with others who were there with me.
 
 

Please Accept That Because There Are Times I Just
Can't Talk, It Isn't Because I Don't Love You.
