“The Night That Turned the Tables”

Police car pull into my driveway.

My heart raced—I thought, “What did I do?” The same officer stepped out, holding a small plaque. He smiled and said, “You didn’t just help me with a flat tire that night.

You reminded me why I joined the force in the first place—to serve good people like you.”

The plaque read: “In appreciation of your kindness.” It wasn’t much, but it reminded me that even small acts can leave a lasting impression.
