I dont say much lately
Mar 9^th, 2010 at 12:55pm

But today there are eyes to water.

I sent this to our local paper I hope it get in there.
oh before you read espicially the CHenz get klenex ready.

Dear Farmersville times;

I have a little story to tell that is not only true, but happened to me.
Last Thursday, March 4th 2010 when I was coming home from work after a long day.
I work in Ft. Worth for at&t, and am also 2nd Assistant Fire Chief for Farmersville Fire Department.
As I was walking towards to my truck (which has Fire Department stickers on it) at the train station I noticed something strange on the tool box, as I looked around at all of the other vehicles there I noticed no others had anything like it. When I got to it I noticed it was a little white bell with a red ribbon on it. I was not sure why it was there until I looked closer. Written on the ribbon was something that brought a tear to my eyes. One sentence " Now our angel has her wings".
I could only think to myself there is a parent out there somewhere that has lost a Daughter, Sister, or Mother and a fire department or firefighter somewhere tried to help save her. I dont know if this was the Families way of thanking them or not but I did feel it was an honor to recieve it and ring it for them, of which I did after I sat down in my trunk. I was shocked in a way to be given the privilege of ringing that little bell. I mean what have I done that warranted that kind of honor? I was however chosen by some random chance and I accepted it proudly.
I would like to thank the person that left that little white bell for me to ring, and the Hero out ther they wanted to thank. I will never lose that bell, It has more meaning and heart than any other award I have ever recieved. If there is others out ther that may have recieved a bell like this please ring it proudly, and be thankful for the gift you have recieved.

Gratefully
Michael Macomber
Assistant Chief
Farmersville Fire Department

You, Mike, the firefighter that did his job for that little angel, and all firefighters, police, soldiers doing their jobs to protect us - every one of you has earned an angel bell. We are proud of all of you, and we thank every single one of you. Sandy
