To the editor:

I suspect it is hard to love a first responder. We get up early and don’t have time to drink coffee over the newspaper. We come home late and are too tired to cook. We work extra because we know there are families who need us. We don’t get too excited over a minor crisis because we deal with issues all day. We have seen far worse. We don’t want to talk when we come home. We have talked all day.
