I had to bring my four-year-old son, Micah, to work on Halloween after the babysitter canceled. While I handled the dinner rush, I glanced over and noticed Micah was gone. Panic set in as I searched the diner, finally finding him in the arms of a firefighter. He wasn\u2019t just holding him\u2014he was crying.\n

The firefighter, still in uniform, gently set Micah down after hearing him say, \u201cIt\u2019s okay. You saved them. My daddy says you\u2019re a hero.\u201d I realized then that Micah had pieced together the moment. My husband, Micah\u2019s dad, was a firefighter who had passed away in a fire the year before.\n

The firefighter, Tyler, broke down when Micah told him about his dad. He explained they had trained together and that my husband had once saved his life. Tyler then handed Micah a silver badge that had belonged to my husband, saying, \u201cHe\u2019d be so proud of both of you.\u201d\n

Later that night, Micah held the badge close to his chest and asked, \u201cMommy, Daddy\u2019s still watching, right?\u201d I kissed his forehead, whispering, \u201cAlways, baby. Always.\u201d\n

In that moment, I realized that love and connection don\u2019t end with loss\u2014they live on in memories and small, meaningful gestures.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
