Feels like a crazy time to be a LEO wife

I don't even know where to start. Maybe I am just more aware of things that happen in the LEO community or maybe things are really getting crazy! Yesterday in New York this man was going after cops with a hatchet. I mean REALLY??? Today in northern California, a Sacramento County Sheriff lost his life when he was approaching a suspicious vehicle. He didn't even have time to react they say.
My husband changed shifts this month which means he is up really early to go to work so I am not awake to hug and kiss him and to say "I love you and stay safe" like I usually do. But when I do wake up I make sure to spend time with God, thanking Him for this amazing man and thanking him for keeping him safe and bringing him home to me. And I am a strong woman of faith so I don't live my life in fear that something could happen to him. But every now and then I see something on the news or on fb of someone hating on a cop or even hurting a cop and I can't help but get this horrible feeling in my stomach. It's just natural. He has a dangerous job. But I make sure that when he gets a chance to call me I get to tell him I love him and to be safe. And the first thing I do when he gets home is hug and kiss him.
I don't really know where I was going with this post but I guess I just want to say hug and love your loved ones, especially you all who are LEO families too. Life's too short and so unpredictable to put things off.
