(Lew writes tonight. ~ Tracy)
I have been
texting with my son this evening. He has
been working mandatory 12-hour days because he is a lineman for the phone
company.
The big blow that went through Southern Maine this week took poles down all over the place and it is his job
to put the poles back in place. He said
he’s getting tired and my response was, “That’s what it takes to be a
hero.”
I was kidding, of course. But for
the first time I can remember, lineman are getting a lot of attention for the
work that they do. So many people were
without power that there has been a growing appreciation for the work they
do and the fact that they do it under difficult circumstances.
The fact is that my son has always been
special to me, and now the people of Southern Maine are just catching on. 😊
