My sister Trish is an RCMP officer – has been since a few weeks before the Mayerthorpe Incident that happened last year. Several weeks ago, a different incident claimed the lives of two other RCMP officers near Spiritwood, Saskatchewan. I found out yesterday that my sister and her fiance are being transferred to Spiritwood to replace them. I don’t know what I feel about this – certainly concern, worry and heavy emotion. I suppose that intellectually I knew that there’s a chance that as a cop she could be injured or killed in the line of duty – but this somehow makes it more real. Anyways, prayers and thoughts and good vibes are always appreciated.
