Resolve to be a better leader in 2015

This weekend begins all of the 2015 Mardi Gras Madness
February 11, 2015medics, Melanie Boudreaux and Seth Scott, did their very best to find evidence of a heart beat but there was none to be found.
The firefighters were next, with the big tarps that keep the business of dealing with the dead as private as possible. Mark Goldman from the Lafourche Coroner’s Office was there too. He wasn’t on duty but he heard and he came, before anyone even asked him to. He had work to do that does not bear retelling here. The firefighters made the blood go away.
“It bothers me but someone has to do it.
You try not to think about it,” said Goldman, who has seen his share of tragedy cup close and personal.
The cops, the medics, the investigators, a lot of them have kids and they see these things, and they try not to bring them home. But they see them. They do the work. Amyri has met the angels, the ones in heaven, when they came to help her up. And she no doubt somehow knows that the other angels – the ones in the uniforms and turnout coats who walk among every day – were there for her as well. They’re there for all of us. And while they never ask for thanks, it’s fair to say that they don’t get thanked enough.
