gratitude

have you ever been profoundly grateful to someone that you do not know? a friend sent me a chain email relating to this question. it made me think about all the people who have impacted my life who i do not know.

the people that most immediately came to mind are paramedics. i have a profound love of paramedics. when i was quite young my mother almost died. in fact she did technically die, but the paramedics revived her. although i was a small child, i remember them. i still cannot think of these unsung heroes without an overwhelming sense of appreciation and feeling.

thank you paramedics today and always.
