“We may not wear the badge, but we carry the weight of it. We may not wear the vest, but we feel the relief flood our bodies each time we hear it Velcro off in the morning-and feel our hearts beat a little bit quicker each time it Velcroes on. We may not wear the boots, but we’ve shined them and tripped over them and waited up for their safe return. We may not drive a patrol car, but we notice each and every one that passes by. We may not wear the uniform, but we wash it and hang it and run our hands over it, praying fiercely for the one who wears it. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We are the families behind the thin blue line. We may not wear the badge, but we back it just the same. We may not be sworn officers, but blue blood runs through our veins 💙⁣⁣”
