Paul and Chrissie are a young couple in their twenties and have started a new family
Story as told by Chrissie
Ill never forget that day My husband Paul didnt even eat breakfast he was excited and wanted to get to the fire station early It was his first week on the job And there at the door he stood he stood waiting for a hug from Jessie our adorable 3 year old When Paul told that her he loved her Jessies face lit up with a big smile and in her tiny voice she said Daddy will you play with me when you get home?
Paul smiled and said Of course
I hated that we both had to work but I was glad that Jessie could go to Gails apartment to play her daughter Jen When we got there Jessie and Jen started playing with dolls right away And then on my way out the door I heard Jessie tell Jen that her daddy is a fireman She sounded so proud I left feeling happy and proud of both Jessie and Paul
I didnt know that that day would change my life forever
They tell me that Jessie got up to go to the bathroom Right after she closed the door there was huge explosion the entire building shook Gail said the apartment filled with smoke Without even thinking Gail grabbed Jen and ran out
Frantically she found the fire chief and told him that there was another little girl trapped in her apartment But the chief told her there was no way he could send anyone into that collapsing old building
The Gail heard Pauls voice on the radio saying he was on the second floor
The chief told Paul to get out that he had a family to think about but Pauls voice came back on the radio and said that he wouldnt leave until he knew everyone was safe
He said he heard there was a little girl trapped in one of the apartments Little did he know
The chief was yelling at him: Are you insane GET OUT OF THERE before the building collapses but Paul refused
When I got there I didnt see Jessie and just went crazy I was going to go in there and get her myself The chief had to grab me to stop me
When he realized who I was he told me Paul was already in there But when I asked him if they were OK he just looked at me
Then I heard Pauls voice on the radio It was broken up but I heard him say he it was really bad He said he was going to try to get the child and make it to a window He told the chief Youd better call my wife Tell Chrissie I love her and tell her to take good care of Jessie and The radio went dead
I screamed! All I could do was scream Paul its Jessie! ITS JESSIE! God he doesnt know!
