Sometimes I let myself imagineโ
what if my husband had been called on 9/11?
What if he had been one of the firefighters climbing those endless stairs,
breathing smoke, carrying hope,
knowing he might not come home?
I canโt breathe when I let myself go there.
The thought of his boots on that ground,
his hands pulling strangers from the rubble,
his voice steady when the world was chaos.
And meโwaiting, praying, not knowing.
I wasnโt a Fire Wife then.
But I am now.
And I know that same courage still beats in his chest.
The same selfless call.
The same vow to go when others run away.
It shakes meโ
because even though itโs not September 11, 2001 anymore,
there are still alarms, still risks, still goodbyes
that could be our last.
So I donโt waste the moments.
I kiss him every time he walks out the door.
I tell him I love him like itโs the last chance Iโll get.
I choose to support him, even on the hard days,
because this life is too fragile,
too uncertain
to live halfway.
To the Fire Wives walking this road:
Donโt hold back your love.
Donโt forget the weight of what they carry,
and the strength of what we carry.
Our husbands may fight fire,
but we fight for their hearts, their rest, their home.
