 To answer the phone and it's GH#1, Jordan in town wanting to go for lunch, turns a normal day into something special. All 6'6" of his handsome self is in town for the weekend and his Granma is ecstatic! His beautiful wife, Raquel will fly in Thursday after work as they have friends to visit. We went to Tru Bru Coffee, Orange,

Jordan ordered a breakfast burrito and a cold brew, I had a plain bagel with cream cheese, tomato, lemon pepper, and mint tea.

We talked about his starting the Fire Academy next week. 

He worked five years as an EMT, Paramedic School and has now graduated, earning his national Paramedic Certification. He has been hired by Henderson Fire Department, in Nevada who will send him through fire academy. He has worked so hard and is now there. I told him about the day he graduated from kindergarten.

He was wearing a shirt and tie, and feeling great. On the way home, I asked him what he thought he'd do when he was a grown-up?

He looked at me, very serious and said, "I don't know Grandma, but I want to help people."
