at least i get to go home

Today marked a pretty sad day. This was taking place right outside of my workplace. The funeral ended shortly before I finished work. By the time I got out, the streets were packed with traffic trying to leave the downtown area. I thought to myself "Man, I'll never get out of here!"
As I walked to my car, more and more cars piled in the few intersections leaving the area. My thoughts then wandered to this RCMP officer's family and friends. As impatient as I usually am in traffic, today was different. Today I thought to myself "At least I get to go home"... whereas this man will never go home to his family again.

My prayers go out to Constable Christopher Worden's family. May he rest in peace.

It always hits home a little more when the people are my age, & have young kids.

What i find a bit upsetting is that CBC has a link to show the funeral live, online.

Am always glad you get home, Jen.
