Thank you for: Living with bullets in the laundry, various drawers and bowls throughout the house
Meeting us on the porch at 3 am with a change of uniform and a bag to put the meth/blood stained one in
Not asking us to come home early because if you ask it’s not going to happen Being left alone at a table, in a restaurant, mid-meal Ordering the ” to go ” box for everything
Making “to go” meals
Making meals that get only a 1/4 eaten and then left
Eating alone Sleeping alone
Closing the door behind us after we run out
Not flinching at a phone call with sirens in the background saying, “don’t wait!”
Waiting……..
After 20 years I could go on and on of what I have seen and after 14 years I could tell you what I’ve put my wife through……but I’ve never lived it. So thank you to all, we love you Cop wife cop life you have to live it to understand it
