The Job

Some people have a job. Other people are the job. The difference is dedication and purpose. The people that are the job are police officers, firefighters and people in the healthcare industry, to name a few. Their jobs are meshed into their souls. It is a dedication that comes from within and is there from a young age. These jobs are ones that help others at the sake of their own safety and well being. Police and firefighters put their lives on the line for strangers and do that without a blink of an eye. That is their purpose. Healthcare workers are there to make your life easier. In the past few weeks I have seen the reality of life from the perspective of a family that needs to rely on others for the safety and care of my parents. I always knew what my sons selflessly did for other people and understood how it gave comfort. Now I am on the other side of the equation and am grateful that people are doing that for me.
