I dread night shifts!!

As if we don't have enough to worry or think about when our hubby's are gone away fighting fires!!  I hate hearing that hubby and his crew will be working night shift!!  I asked him tonight, if he hates night shift?  He said he only hates it because he has to sleep during the day in fire camp.  Me, well, I hate night shift because......"it's dark!!"  I don't like the fact that he's roaming around on hills in the dark.  Granted they probably have a glow from the fire and they wear head lamps, but I still don't like it.  When he works night shift, I find myself whispering prayers for safety and strength through out the night. 

I remember when we first got married, he'd call me in the middle of the night (from some mountain top). I'd answer the phone "Hello (sounding half awake)" and he'd say "Hey whatcha doing?"  I loved always being a bit of a stinker and saying back "um SLEEPING!"  But I do love those late night phone calls.  To know that in the middle of his crazy night shift, he finds a few minutes to call and say 'I love you' or send me a text.
