Secret Note Revealed
This note read: “I want to be you when I grow up. Thank you for your service. Stephen Cummings.” Upon reading these words, the officer was completely surprised. It’s not every day that you get a 9-year-old buy you breakfast. Immediately he knew he had to show his appreciation for this unrequested kind gesture. But when this cop discovered who this little guy’s mom was, all the warm feeling in his heart started fading.
Priceless Moment
This officer without wasting a single moment jumped out of his chair and requested the little boy to take a picture with him. Unsurprisingly Stephen was overjoyed! Not only did he get a chance to meet up with his hero up close, on this fortunate day he also got the chance to take a photo with him. Additionally, this cop also made a few calls that would turn Sarah’s whole life around.
Proud Of Her Boy
Later Sarah decided she would post the day’s event on facebook along with the cop’s photo. She had no idea about the kind of reaction that she was going to get. “One proud Momma. When your child asks if we can pay for an Officer’s Breakfast!!!! Writes him a message on his receipt,” read the post. As it started going viral, thousands of comments and likes started flooding Sarah facebook wall. But no one could have expected what was about to happen next.
The Story Spreads
Upon recalling the events of the day, Officer Uribe and his fellow officers decided to call Sarah and asked her if it will be okay if they too posted this story on their account. “Well, Stephen you touched all of our hearts today. Your support means so much to all of the men and women who put on the uniform every day. We wish you the happiest of Birthdays!” But what would this officer do to replay such a generous act?
The Boys In Blue
Uribe met up with this distressed mom and heard all about her gut-wrenching story. Immediately this officer knew that something had to be done, so he began by calling his higherups and requesting that the parking tickets be dropped ASAP. Not long after that, all the fines were revoked and not only this, as this heartwarming news spread across the police station, soon several cops came up to Sarah house to show their gratitude for supporting the officers.
Encouraged By His Words
“It meant everything. It meant that I’m supposed to wake up every morning and put on this uniform and go out there and do what I do. You know? It means that I need to keep trying to be a good example to all these young guys,” said the officer during an interview. But soon the mainstream media got the whiff of this amazing relation between a cop and a 9-year-old.
