When we had to call 911 to have my dad taken to Kaiser last month, there was a fire captain there named Dave. He told us he remembered us, as he had been to the house a couple of years ago, when Mom had fainted and they came over. He was so nice and caring and I can't believe he remembered us.
This morning I passed a fire truck and thought of Dave and how great he was to Mom and Daddy.
Also this morning Pat had to take a class - ACLS - Advanced Cardiac Life Support, which he has to take every two years to maintain his RN license. Guess who was also at the class? Dave and Tiffany, who was also at the house last month.
They remembered Pat and asked how Daddy was. Sadly, he had to tell them Daddy had passed away. They were very nice and respectful.
We live in San Jose - a city of one million people. Campbell is on the other side of the street from us. We have Campbell Schools and phone number, but we vote in San Jo and have city services from them. Campbell has a population of about 40,000. We live on the border of these two cities. We consider ourselves more Campbellites than San Joseans.
My point of all this is we really live in a small town and we do love it.
