“I didn’t enjoy writing tickets – But you didn’t know
I cried when I found your daughter lying in a ditch, high on meth – But you didn’t know.
I was devastated when I found the 32-year-old veteran dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound – But you didn’t know.
I missed my kids birthdays, school plays and family trips because I had to work – But you didn’t know.
I had nightmares about the 2-year-old I found crushed under a truck tire while mom was inside buying dope – But you didn’t know.
I really struggled with EVERY death notification I made to a family about their loved one – But you didn’t know.
I was never comfortable at social gatherings because with the things I’ve seen, I can’t trust anyone – But you didn’t know.
I’ve seen things you could never even imagine – But you didn’t know.
