This week marks the ten-year anniversary of what Doug is now able to jokingly refer to it as his “bad hair day at work.”  But I still think of it as the day, if any microscopic detail would have gone differently, he could have lost his life, and our three beautiful children would have never existed.

Rather than being annoyed by cops who sit on the side of the road clocking traffic, please remember that at any given moment, they can be called to an emergency situation, where they would be expected to jump directly in harm’s way for our safety.  Whether off duty or on, in uniform or out, they are required to protect people they’ve never even met, even if it means they must die trying.  How many of us have that kind of responsibility in our job descriptions?
