Career

Career by Chris Day When I was a little boy I use to play cops and robbers with my boys. To wear the badge and serve my community was all that mattered to me. I flew through promotions like a bird in the sky. I saw death, mangled bodies, abuse and suicides it became a way of life. Then one day I got the call that would change my life. A little girl so innocent and sweet had been ran over by a car. As I got on scene it was Khaos, screaming and people cursing me. I was confused as what was happening as a mother was punching me. Telling me to save her baby girl. It was like the earth stopped for a moment and I was just a blure. I done what I was trained to do I grabbed the child and started CPR. Every breath I tried to give her was going afar. Every chest thrust I would do would go to the floor. I asked God to switch places for me and the child this time. Just a child I thought. How could it be. Just a simple trip turned into a tragedy. This changed my life and I think about her everyday. I hate myself for not being able to save her that day.
