They got the door open and the paramedics started their job. Kim put a c-collar on me incase my neck was broken. They drove me to Angel of Mercy hospital. The doctors took x-rays and tests. My neck wasn't broken. Everything was fine. I was still out of it when Jimmy's shift was over, but he came to see me anyway.

"Jules, it's me Jimmy. Doc says you're gonna be okay."

I started to move a little.

"Jimmy,"

"Good morning Julie."

"Jimmy, what happened?"

"You were going home from the funeral. A drunk driver slammed into your car. We got you out, so don't worry about it."

I stayed overnight for observation. The next day was Jimmy's day off, so we went to the firehouse to pick up a few last things of my fathers. When I took down a photo of our family, I felt aand envelope so I took it off and read the letter inside.

Jules,

If you're reading this it means that you or your mother is cleaning out my office 'cause I'm gone. I love you very much. Tell your mother, I love her. Have you kept your promise? Give the other note here to jimmy.

Love,

pops

So, I gave the other note to Jimmy. It said,

Jimmy,

If you're reading this it means Julie found it. Tell the family I love 'em. Tell the guys that I'll be watching.

"Julie,"

"Yeah, I got a letter too."

We got the stuff and packed it into Jimmy's SUV. We drove to my apartment.

"Thanks Jimmy."

"Anytime, shorty."

I went upstairs and unpacked. I got to a box with his uniforms in it. I picked one up and smelt it. I used to do that when I was a kid. It was a mixture of the smell of cologne and smoke mixed into one.
