Speechless
The officer’s son died while he was serving overseas. “He didn’t make it home,” the officer said to William. The officer had a hard time getting this sentence out, and listening to him say this absolutely broke William’s heart. The only thing William could do was be a shoulder for this officer to lean on right now.
My Condolences
William could not feel anything but remorse and pain for what this cop was explaining to him. He was thinking of all the things he was doing now that he was back, living his life like he normally would, while there are people like this cop who can’t experience the joy of their children coming back from war.
