Live each and every day like its going to be your last, with no regrets. He did and Im sure its what he wanted. We burned the candle at both ends together alot and I wouldnt trade any thing for what we had. Id give anything just to have another 10 minutes. I find my comfort still at the fire station. It helps and it hurts, but I can still find a chance to smile here every now and then. So much pain covered up with so much laughter and so many great memories. Habaneros, mentos and coke, cinnamon, snow angels in boxer shorts, the list goes on and on of all the good times but the one that sticks out the most in my mind was the time he was there to save my life and he told me if I would have lost that flipper we were both gonna have to drown cause my brother would have killed me . . Saturday night when Rodney Gardner passed away I made a decision that I didnt want to do this anymore I fought with myself over it, I tried arguing with the higher power but I didnt want to let it show. The more I thought that night the more I was ready to leave the fire service behind and everything he helped me get to. Then after a very long quiet sleepless night I had time to think about it and listen to my thoughts, Im not going anywhere, its not what he would have wanted and I just cant seem to find piece of mind anywhere but right here at the station or in that truck going to help the next person. I want to move on through the community to do bigger and better things and continue with all the fun and exciting things on the side just like we use to do together. I only hope in my lifetime that I can be half of what he was to this small town USA.
