I Surprised My Firefighter Husband at His Station for His Birthday – What His Captain Told Me Made My Stomach Drop

I kept gripping the steering wheel and repeating the same thought.
He’s alive.
He’s alive.
He’s alive.
At the hospital, I practically ran through the emergency entrance.
The receptionist checked Tyler’s name and directed me upstairs.
I found him in a private room.
He was awake.
The moment I saw him, my legs almost gave out.
His left arm was strapped against his body.
There was a bandage near his hairline, and dark bruising had already started forming along one side of his face.
But he was there.
Tyler looked at me and managed a crooked smile.
“Hey.”
I stopped beside the bed.
For several seconds, I couldn’t speak.
Then anger arrived right behind relief.
