Never dated a cop, but as fate would have it, my life has been full of them in other capacities. My uncle, my best friend's brother, her brother-in-law, an older friend here was a sheriff's deputy, and in the last town I lived in I worked fast food so I knew ALL of them since the force was relatively small compared to a lot of places. I have seen their schedules....they are brutal. I admire you. I would not be able to stand it. But, thank him for me for what he does. They are our every day heroes.
