I am feeling a little bit somber today...perhaps because last Saturday night a Seattle Police Officer was shot and killed in the line of duty. It was a senseless act, one that was done by a coward. Today I spent the day in the comfort of my own safe home and watched the memorial service for the fallen officer. Tears came as I saw photos of the family left behind. I often take for granted the fact that my husband comes home each night, safe and sound, to give us hugs and kisses, and to tease us all. I take for granted that each day he puts his own life on the line by donning the uniform and standing for right. It wasn't until this very day I have realized the danger he truly may be in. I know this is what he truly wants to be doing. He is happy, and enjoys being among the men in blue....
So for now, I will just thank my Father in Heaven for the fact that tonight, I get to be with this wonderful man.And thank my husband for the service he gives. We are truly blessed to call him "ours".

I'm up late making food for tomorrow's Make-it and take-it and decided to check some blogs while I wait. Yep- I gotta agree with you! Ron is a great man and we are one family (among many!) who is thankful for the service he and others give to keep us safe! What a sweet tribute you wrote to Ron. His wife is a pretty good gal herself, you know!
You truly are lucky to have such a wonderful guy! I know sometimes it slips by but take a moment each day to appreciate him! Unselfish, brave, honest, and a true gentleman (and a great DAD!). Those are the things that remind me of Office/Lt. Colonel Ron M. Willis and we are all better for knowing him!
