My Story: The Picture That Saved My Life 📖

Most of you know I spent 35 years as a firefighter. I’ve seen flames, crashes, trauma — but the hardest battles were the ones I fought alone, in my own head.

There was a time I was ready to end it all. I was sitting on the side of the highway, thinking of driving in front of a semi. What stopped me? A single photo. A picture of my three boys, tucked in my visor. That moment changed my life — and it’s the reason I’m here today.

That’s why this community exists.

Because sometimes one story, one moment, or one reminder is enough to keep someone alive.
