My Friend Paula...
I met Paula in 2001, when I first started working for my Fire Department. She impressed me in so many ways, not least of which is that she is a woman in a field dominated by men. During nasty weather, she would cook for us, in between running calls. She would help out in super-creative ways during our Open House. She is a mother, a Firefighter and a friend.
Several years ago, Paula was diagnosed with leukemia. She traveled to Washington State to undergo treatment. She came back to us, thankfully, in remission. She even got to respond on some calls after she returned.
However, after being on the mend, Paula's condition has worsened, to the point of hospitalization. But she got through this once before, and I am confident that she will get through this again.
Get well soon, Paula, and come back to us again! We miss you!
I'll update her condition, so stay tuned...
