Already done - gutted, and skinned..hanging now.
The girlfriend works at emergency Call dispatch center, and with the cold, and snow, and high winds during the first snowstorm, he knows that she will be busy, if not swamped.
True love is giving more to the relationship than you take from it.
This son is a municipal fireman and EMT, so he knew what he was getting into; and he has already asked for the 'excaliber'.. and he is still out there (for dignity, if not pride).
Realized that bond, just couldn’t resist the potential humor in the situate having been in a similar situation once with my ex. which had us both Lol.
No offensive was intended.
