The prompt this week at Illustration Friday is Rescue. The love-of-my-life has been a public safety diver and Captain of the Phoenixville Dive-Rescue unit for nearly 17 years. This is Scott, not actually rescuing (or sadly, more often than not, recovering) but running a drill. He and his team spend countless volunteer hours every month practicing, taking classes, maintaining equipment and writing grant proposals. And, while the hope is to never have to answer a call, days can be spent at a moment's notice performing their public duty.
And, while I often complain about the hours he puts in, I'm secretly really, really proud of him.
what a lovely tribute and post to your husband! Very sweet and fitting for IF. Thanks for sharing this, and enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeletePS I would have made the brownies. ;)
Such a brave man, you should be proud!
ReplyDeleteOh forgot to mention, sorry you had to deal with all that mess - and red too! UGH!!!
ReplyDeleteoh, I hate when that happens! Wow, I know you must be very proud of him. ... I think you should make the brownies anyway, chocolate always makes one feel better about anything.
ReplyDeleteHey Krista! Great way to honor your husband! You are so talented! Thanks for the peek into the world of Krista... brownies and all. I missed your spring illustration... so beautiful! It snowed here on the first day of spring. I can't wait till the weather catches up with the calendar. Hey thanks for adding my button. God bless
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tribute to a very deserving guy and all that do this kind of work. The prompt of 'rescue' was made for you!
ReplyDeleteTruly inspirational, you must be very proud! Sorry about the spill. When that kind of accident happens to me I always wish that I could roll back the clock for just a few seconds and undo everything.

ReplyDeleteOh, KRISTA! Your man is ideal for this week, and so is your wonderful portrait! Oh my goodness, he must be so tickled and honored to have you paint his picture. This should most definitely be up on a wall. Is it? If not, I'm a-comin' over right now. Get me a hammer, girl!
ReplyDeleteAnd boo to the spill. If I were you, I would have made the brownies anyway.
