It's so sad

I am watching the funeral for the 4 Oakland PD officers that were killed last week. I don't know if I can handle watching the whole thing. It is just so sad. It brings up memories of our deputy (I work for a sheriffs department) that was killed last year.

I feel so bad for their families, friends and their department. It is so sad (I know I am repeating myself)

My dh is a police officer and he came home last week almost in tears. ?I can't watch it, it hits too close to home. ?My prayers are definitely with the families and officers.

The bag pipes started. They are showing the caskets and everything. The tears are already rolling down my face. I don't know if I can last through the first 5 minutes. Why am I torturing myself? I think it is out of respect. I couldn't make it there, at least I can watch it and know that some of my department is there and can represent.

I just can't do it. ?Especially since dh is part of the direct enforcement team and does high risk search warrants, stops etc.?

I understand. I can not imagine being married to an officer. The stress of having all my friends be law enforcement and also work directly with my deputies and worry about them everyday. I can not imagine having to worry like that over my own husband.

It's been a rough year for Philadephia too... I believe there's been 5-6 in the past year and a half. I haven't been home to watch the funerals, but I drive past where the police congregate prior to heading to the services and that alone is a saddening/moving sight to witness.

I am so glad my stepdad retired.
