Today I began my 29th year with Westchester County, with 3 1/2 yrs in #FDNY before that. When you first get hired, and the "old timers" say "don't blink, it goes fast". Turns out...they were right (about SO many things). #Blessed #Honor

I don't know you & you don't know me. But, I'd lay down my life for you, as many of my brothers & sisters have done. I ask for nothing in return other than this... ...be kind to others, help them when/where you can & be good to yourself. #LiveBetter #KindnessMatters

Whatever I have done in my life, is only possible because of the strength, courage and compassion that she lived by.
Replying to @PaulJockimo
I've always loved the message from "Don't Feel Sorry for Paul" Your mom's determination to make sure you 'could' is a lesson and inspiration for all of us. Can't wait to the 'follow-up. Have a great & safe #MemorialDayWeekend

A student in a recent class of mine brought a copy of the book for me to sign. He asked when the follow-up will be written. Stay tuned...we're working on it. It's been a journey...full of intersections (there's a teaser for ya)
