Ryan Sutter is getting back to his old routines after adifficult year of health problems.
“I took a walk today. After two major surgeries and nearly six months, yesterday was my first day back in the firehouse. So I walked and I reflected,” he wrote.
Sutter said that “it was a good day back on the job.”
“This job isn’t easy — not these days and not in this climate. But it’s a tremendous opportunity, an opportunity to be challenged, to be humbled and to be taught that, despite our differences, we are all humans in this life — together in at least that much.”

Sutter appreciates that as a firefighter, he’s able to “respond repeatedly to people who need help — for any reason and at any time — even if they just spit on our fire engine from their scooter.”
“What a job! It’s great to be back…” he said. “Still the #bestjobever.”

And at the end of December, he was able to enjoy a long family vacation in Florida with wifeTrista Sutterand their son Maxwell Alston, 14, and daughter Blakesley Grace, 12.
“This week has been different — a fortuitous opportunity to escape, to be together as a family, to participate,“he posted on Instagram from the beachon Dec. 31. “I missed taking pictures I actually want to look at. I missed capturing moments I know I’ll look back on fondly. I missed feeling a part of my family. I missed my life. But this week it was all there. A glimpse of the past and, I know, a glimpse into the future.”
