Remember this little line from Clarence the angel in It's a Wonderful Life?
"Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?"
I saw this on TV tonight, and it put me in mind of that:
Now, I can't claim to have helped anyone as dramatically as a firefighter. Teaching just doesn't require the same kind of heroism. I hope I have been able to have some positive effect in the lives of others. I'm certainly glad I had the opportunity.
I have to say, that I am pleased that they chose a female firefighter as the central character in this ad.
The advertisement is from the Majella Society of Austin and Houston, TX.
The social, cultural, spiritual, political, academic, and literary rantings of a slightly strange Catholic English teacher.
