Today I have been reflecting on the past 10 years. Ten years ago, I was working as a paramedic on my usual shift but that day, April 14th, I was expecting a very special call. I was in the back of the ambulance with a young teenage girl who was in an minor car accident and she was hystrical and crying and worried about what her dad was going to say. I was trying to reassure her and calm her down. Then my cell phone rang, usually I did not answer my phone but I was waiting for this phone call, my partner handed me my phone and said, I think this is the call you have been waiting for. I politely told the young girl, that I would be right back but had to take this phone call. It was my brother. He was calling me to tell me that I was an Aunt of a beautiful baby Girl. He quickly gave me the important information and let me go. The young girl heard my end of the conversation, and I told her that I had just became an Aunt. She immediately calmed down. We talked about my new neice all the way to the hospital. Later that evening I had to transport a patient over to Springfield which is where she was born and sneak in to see my new baby girl. Now ten years later, she is growing up so fast. She is still the joy in my life. I wish her all the happiest in the world. Happy Birthday Alexis! I love you.
