siren


i did my part as a citizen today. (:

i love that feeling when you pull over for an emergency vehicle!
number one, because you "know the drill" and everyone else does, so its totally legit.
number two, because i love hearing the sirens and watching the truck/car speed pass, it gets my adrenaline.

number three, because i am helping a hero (:

my baby brother nathan, drowned in the tub when he was almost one, and those firefighters and paramedics are especially heroes to my family. 
nathan flat lined twice, and they thought even if he did make it, that he would have major brain damage. 

but he woke up, and was perfectly fine. 
he is now eleven and is so smart and athletic, and a very funny kid.
so next time you see an emergency vehicle, be as eager as i get to help a hero. <3 love you nathan
