Letter to an officer

Dear officer,

You don't know me and I don't know you.
But with that being true I still have more respect for you than anyone will ever know.
I know that you have loved ones that are happy to see you come home at the end of each shift.
I know you have a job where people either hate you or beg for help. Sometimes one person will do both.
The number of people you've helped I hope is larger than the people that you've lost.
More than anything I'm hope you continue to go home at the end of each and every shift. Because I know one who didn't get to come home and although he wasn't related to me. I knew his daughters all so well. I know all the things he missed in their lives and am thankful that my dad is one that gets to come home. The loss of that officer I knew seven years ago changed how I see the world and I couldn't be more thankful for everything you do.

The loving daughter of an officer.
