Fire season has started

The fire season has started in Portugal. It concerns me because we'll have so many fires in the next months, but also because my husband will be fighting those fires as well.

Together with another pilot, my love will be extinguishing fires in a helicopter. 
On the ground, a crew of specially trained brave firefighers (GIPS) will do the same.

And it's the same dance every year. I'm always worried, checking the news, asking him to call me everytime he has a call and when he lands. Can't tell you how many times I have panicked, cried... It'll be like this for the next 4 months!!


In my heart, he's a hero and what he does is worth all our sacrifices.
