When they first started dating, he was in the TRG working with the Drug Squad. He has some interesting tales to tell. <br /><br />I once asked her the same question...she said she just can't go there. She can't think about it. That works for her. <br /><br />Anyway, darl...thinking of you. I think partners of police officers have common ground, so def understand why you feel about the other wife. Terrible. <br /><br />I'm sure she would be grateful for your thoughts and prayers. <br /><br />xxxJodie Anstedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12300961546795965857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331972089469544815.post-47303693900261747062011-06-02T00:58:31.200+10:002011-06-02T00:58:31.200+10:00I have known many police officer's and fireman...I have known many police officer's and fireman's wives, and happily none have lost their husband, but it must be so hard on the spouses on a continuing basis. <br /><br />Don't be sorry that you are happy it wasn't your husband, it doesn't mean you don't feel any less for the wife of the policeman who was killed.<br /><br />The families of those who protect their community are special people as well.

What a hideous waste of a man's life and the devastation it now leaves behind. It makes me angry, but then what is the point in anger... it doesn't bring anyone back.<br />I can imagine how difficult is must be being married to a police officer, but you sound like you handle it in the best possible way. Take care Thea, hope you and your hubby were able to lend support to one another today... and give plenty of hugs to each other too xoAll For Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13151973819133926868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331972089469544815.post-43304313944032293192011-06-01T21:25:23.649+10:002011-06-01T21:25:23.649+10:00Incredibly sobering.

Have been thinking about his wife and young kids all day.<br /><br />I have so much respect for the work that cops do. And while the chances of something really terrible happening are often quite small, sometimes bad things do happen.<br /><br />I don't know how I'd cope having a husband (or any family member) working in a dangerous job.

He has been in countless stressful situations and has come out reasonably unscathed, where as others were injured, ended up being invalided out, or made the ultimate sacrifice.<br />I loved being a coppers wife, espeically when we were in the small communities. It was great the way he was trusted and loved, helping all aspects of his community.<br />But guess what! Now he is retired, I don't miss coppering one bit!! *S*Scotty Loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07060860232097541027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331972089469544815.post-6898626950684779552011-06-01T14:59:55.697+10:002011-06-01T14:59:55.697+10:00I cannot imagine being married to someone in a job...I cannot imagine being married to someone in a job like that - you must be so strong. I saw my Mum with my step dad and how she worried and he was an ambulance officer - but night shift in the city was hell for her - she does worry - so she wouldn't sleep till he was home safe. I can't imagine how hard it must be, how you let someone you love do what they want even if it is dangerous. These are stronger women than I.
