Last Friday I had the privilege of attending the graduation of the 40 newest recruits to the Toronto Fire Services - one of the handsome graduates was my brother. To say it was a proud moment for his big sister, mom and his fiancee is an understatement - our pride, emotion and excitement could not be contained as we watched this kid walk on stage and shake the hands of the Fire Chief and Mayor and place the spiffy cap proudly on his head. He has trained hard, has been waiting for this day for more than two years and will now serve on the largest and busiest fire department in the country.
Mom got teary-eyed seeing him in his uniform for the first time. <3
Big congratulations from his childhood neighbour, best friend and fellow Fire Fighter.
His buddy has recieved
the Ontario Medal for Firefighter Bravery.
Practicing up for the 2014 Firefighter's Calendar. :)
My "baby brother."
All women love a man in uniform...
We are all overjoyed for you, little bro. And I know your biggest fan was looking from above at his courageous son and will be by your side protecting you as you help the citizens of Toronto. He always told you that if you believed it you could achieved it. And you will always be one of our dad's greatest achievements.
Congratulations Amos. Amazing job achieving your goal.
