Recently my hubby was reviewing a vehicle stop he and a few other officers made that resulted in a 10-80 (foot pursuit). He asked our son if he wanted to see what he did when he’s at work sometimes. Of course, our 5 year old was more than happy to hop on daddy’s lap to see. When he got done, he gave his dad the biggest hug and said, “Good job daddy, I’m so proud of you.” Neither myself or my husband saw that coming but looking at my son’s face he meant every bit of it.
His daddy is truly his hero. I am his best friend. He tells everyone that. But no one has to ask who is his hero. Paw Patrol is his favorite cartoon but Chase is his favorite character.
Earlier in the summer when things started getting really wild and there was a lot about police on the news our son sent Chase to be with his dad as his partner on the street. LOL. Whenever my hubby has to train a new officer he usually leaves Chase at home but that’s not a decision our son is usually okay with. He gets concerned about who will be protecting him. He calls him and has a serious conversation about it with him. For me it’s cute, for him it’s about his hero’s security.
When my husband walks through the door each night, I see the love of my life; he sees his hero. There is so much pride as mothers that fills us when we see the way our little ones look at their heroes. There are really no words that can describe it. My daughter used to look at him the same way when he was in the military now she’s off following in his footsteps. On the days when the world seems to be unappreciative of what our LEO do, those eyes always turn helps in turning those days around. As a police wife though I wouldn’t trade those looks for anything in this world.
