π¨π₯ A Full Circle of Courage and Gratitude π₯π¨

π βCollins?β¦ not you.β That was all I could whisper when I saw the address, my heart catching in my throat. The man who saved me at eight β pulling me from a burning building, risking everything to keep me alive β was now in need π€.
π¨βπ After that day, he never stopped showing up in my life. Visits, calls, school events β small gestures that reminded me I mattered, that shaped the person I would become ππ. His bravery inspired me so deeply that I chose this same uniform, carrying forward the legacy of courage he showed me ππͺ.

π Today, I found him collapsed in his yard. Panic surged, but I steadied him. And in that moment, he gripped my wrist β the same man who once held me, now holding on to me. For the first time that day, I could breathe, knowing he was still here, still fighting, and that our circle of care and courage continues β€οΈβπ₯β¨.
π Some heroes never leave us. Some lives come full circle. And some moments remind us that love, bravery, and gratitude can carry us through even the most unimaginable fear.
