The liberal media loves to vilify the police. But the boys in blue took an oath to protect and serve, and one sheriff’s deputy went above and beyond to console a grieving woman who had recently lost her father to Alzheimer’s.
“Last week I was pulled over for going 65 in a 55,” Gina Headen wrote on Facebook. However, after she gave the officer her license and registration, he opted not to give her a ticket. “The officer returned to my car and said its your lucky day, we were born on the same day and year, slow down and have a good day. I smiled and said thank you,” Headen wrote.
But that was not the end of Headen’s exchange with the officer. She continued, “He walked away and I broke down and started crying. Thinking he was back in his car. He surprised me and tapped on my window asking if I was ok. I told him I was sad, I just lost my dad. He said take a minute and breath [sic]. He talked to me a minute then helped me back into traffic.”
Little did Headen know, that wouldn’t be the last she heard from the kind officer. A week later, she received a card in the mail from Deputy Dan Hill. It read, “My condolence on the loss of your father. I’m sure he was a great man who loved his family. I pray that your tears of sadness become tears of joy in remembering his legacy.”
Deputy Hill also added a Bible verse: “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more. Neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore; for the former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:4)
What a heartwarming story. Deputy Hill could have easily given Headen a ticket and gone about his day. But not only did he decide to give her a break, he went an extra mile to offer her empathy in her time of grief.
Be kind to one another, because we never know what another person might be going through.
