After being hurried out the door of the ready room at 9:27 for an event that started at 9:30 that was 20 minutes away, I paused for a moment to collect my faculties before merging onto I-77 and decided to welcome this assignment as a breath of fresh air.
You see, there's a little organization here in the metro area called Kids Rein. Typically these folks employ therapy horses for kids with autism. While it is a most respectable gig, what they've been doing lately has gone above and beyond the call of duty for a few guys who were injured in the line of duty. They're providing their services for 2 Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Officers who suffered traumatic injuries while serving our community.
I won't waste your time with the technical details of how this little gem came to fruition, but let's just suffice it to say that I needed a story like this one last week. The grind had been wearing on me since I got back from my recent trip to Guatemala, and I needed a little victory to remind me why it is exactly, that I do what I do.
Take a look and see for yourself.
