Grandpa and the Cincinnati Police Department

I'm sitting on my deck, drinking my coffee and thinking about my grandpa, Ed. Or, Big Ed, as they called him on the force. I know he would be proud of me, my husband and my boys, especially right now. He would also be very grateful to the police officers who have taken a personal interest in keeping our family safe. I am grateful, too.

Last night, before I went to bed, I looked out our front door and saw a squad car sitting by our house. The officer waved to me and gave me a thumbs up. I waved back, checked the locks and alarm system and went to bed with my husband. I slept immediately and didn't wake up until our son came downstairs in the morning. Thank you, CPD for giving me that gift.
