What's the last thing you say to your wife, husband , and family before you run out the door to answer an alarm? I always take the time to tell my wife that I love her. I tell I love her before she leaves for work, or to do any errands that she might have to do. I always tell her I love her before I hang up the phone with her, no matter who might be around to hear me. I do the same w/ my two sons even though they are both grown and living on their own. I say I love you to my family every chance I get, because, in our line of work it might be the last chance we get to say it. I know that we get our chops busted if the " guys " hear us sayI love you to our significant others, but when I get it, I just remind them that we may not get to see them again and if that happens , what's the last thing they would want them to hear? So take the time to tell them that you love them. You'll be glad that you did.
I'm no longer married, but I now have a girlfriend who also runs. Most of the time she goes with but if she doesn't there is always an I Love You and a kiss before we part.
