Saving my life

I just started I was off the coast of Japan I was here as a fireman. I graduated from usc. I majored in fire science. I was in Japan when a tsunami hit. I was amassed by the height and force of this giant wave. It was huge people were screaming. I was in a thirty stories high building. The fist ten stories were sunk under water. I was helping people get to the top to be air lifted of the top. There was me and my friend and a couple other people we were all that was left. The helicopter was coming to pick us up I couldn’t stop crying. I kept on thinking about all those people I couldn’t save those people trapped under water I keped on having dreams of people screaming help me please don’t leave me behind. I went to see a doctor about these dreams he said I was worried about all the people I didn’t save. He said to think about all the people I did save. I did that and I didn’t have those dreams anymore. I got a letter from one of the people I had saved she said thank you so much for saving my life. My kids thought I was dead when I got home I got hugs from my kids they were crying they said mommy I love you and I crying cause I knew that they did love me. Thank you. At that moment I never felt better in my entire life.
