The son of a Paramedic

It was around the time the Pandemic started and it was even worse in New York, My Father, Who was (and still is) a paramedic, Was told by his supervisor that he needed volunteers to help the hospitals in New York City. My dad decided to go, despite protest from the rest of our family. He stayed there for about two months before returning home, the time he spent there did a toll on him. Recently he was diagnosed with PTSD. he will always be an unheard hero.
