- There's really never a such thing as an end-of-day at your husband's office (AKA, the community at large).
- We don't "Thank God It's Friday" because that just means more work for our husband and possibly a long night.
- We find ourselves looking up at the sky during a full moon and feel a tinge of worry for our spouse because we know it's going to be a crazy night.
- Weekend? What Weekend?
- We've learned to be strong and independent because the reality is, we'll have to be the one to fix the vacuum, dishwasher, and attend family gatherings alone.
- We've learned to put the constant worry in a place that allows us to function in our daily lives...but it's always there.
- We feel very real pain and heartache for any police family that has had a loss because we know it could be us.
- We believe in guardian angels and pray for protection of our husband.
- Even though it would be nice if our husbands had a regular 9-5 schedule, we're so proud of the work they do in the community even if it ruins family life sometime.
- We're not in love with our husbands because they wear a uniform...the reality is the life is less glamorous than seen on television. And yes, we're aware that there are women who LOVE to flirt with cops and we laugh at you.
- Living off a cops salary is never going to make our family rich. Most police families I know have to have double incomes in order to own a decent home and take a family vacation each year.
- Even though I pretend I'm bored at the many, many stories I do listen and proudly re-tell them to my friends because I'm so very proud of you!
May God protect our policemen and women and bring strength and peace to their spouses!
