About this listen

In this powerful episode, a police officer's wife shares the emotional journey of loving someone who wears the badge. From her early fears about her husband becoming a cop to a memorable ride-along that brought both laughter and perspective, she opens up about the balancing act of family life-especially during the holidays-while facing the unpredictable nature of the job. She recalls the night every spouse dreads: the call that her husband had been shot in the head. She takes us through the heart-stopping moments of arriving at the hospital, surrounded by a wall of blue, and the unexpected phone call from her husband-still on the ER gurney-trying to soften the news. Through it all, she reveals the strength of a close-knit police community and the unwavering priority of family.
