Looking for the Light 
This is such a touching story; made me feel all warm and fuzzy, that the police officer who was given a stuffed animal as a kid wanted to pass on the aloha to traumatized kids today. What a beautiful gesture and lovely example of giving back. Thank you, boys and girls in blue! Mahalo for sharing this story.
It touched my heart and made me proud the officer was from my area. Thank you for taking the time to comment. 🙂
This is a wonderful and heartwarming story. Bless you for sharing.

You might want to join the group, we write a good will story every week, most post on Saturday. I work on mine during the week and it’s ready to go. You may have too many responsibilities to write one more day. 🙂
This is a wonderful story to cheer the hearts of the young, and the young at heart. Great promo for Sherriffs and the good work they do too. Thanks for sharing and being part of our blogfest, from me and the other cohosts.
Thank you for replying. I still feel like I’m missing who to send links to. I don’t participate on Facebook. If you can direct me that would be great. Have an awesome day.
Thank you for taking time to comment. This is my second month, where do I post a link if not on Facebook? Thanks.
Don’t worry. I’ve already posted the link on your behalf. You need a Facebook account to do it. #WATWB is also very active on Twitter. I’ll try and follow you. If you follow Damyanti on Twitter as well you can direct message us from there.
Great, I’m on Twitter but lack confidence in Facebook. I’ll look for you on Twitter.
