I rarely think about it, but it’s always true.

The other night, I was walking my toddler outside, trying to get him to fall asleep when a number of rescue vehicles passed very closely through the neighborhood. I couldn’t see them or their flashing lights, just hear them, and the thought came to me, perhaps because my wife was out doing the weekly grocery shopping and I was hoping that the sirens weren’t for her.

I sometimes wonder how I would raise my three kids alone if anything were to happen to her.
