Well, after 24 years in the fire service, today was my last day. I was retired out, with my bad back. Four surgeries later, the last being a three level fusion, left me unfit to perform my duties.
You can't imagine how hard it was going to headquarters, and turning in my gear, and handing over my badge.
I was very lucky to have my passion as my profession, and that is what made it so tough, I wasn't ready to go.
Life goes on, and I will get over this speed bump of life, but for now, it's a tough road.
Can't feel sorry for myself though, at least I got to live a dream.................
