I’m just a soap maker.
I wanted this soap to be perfect. I wanted the love and support that I feel in my heart for the men and women of law enforcement to ooze out into my work today. It didn’t. Nothing turned out the way I planned. Nothing. Not in my mind, not on paper, and especially not in the creation process. Everything went haywire. I even had the thought to toss it all out and quit soapmaking altogether because nothing in soapmaking ever seems to go the way I think it should.
But then I thought about it.
Things in law enforcement aren’t going the way they should either. Everything has gone haywire. I hate it! I hate that there are good men and women out there that are doing their best to protect us and getting killed in return. Even though this soap didn’t turn out how I wanted it to, I still want you to know that there are many of us out here who wholeheartedly support you. I know you may want to quit. I’ve watched some of my friends walk away, and I can understand why, but please don’t. Please keep going. My job as a soapmaker isn’t important. Your job is and it’s appreciated. Please keep protecting us. Even though some of us may not look the part, we’re just work-at-home moms, we may be small and scrawny looking, but I promise you, we too “got your six”. Every single day.
Thank you. Thank you for all you do and give to keep law and order.
