A police officer died in the line of duty not far from here last night.
Regardless of the circumstances of what happened near Newmarket, a man who went to work last night is not coming home today.
Sometime in the next five or so days, thousands of police officers from across North America will converge on the area to pay their respects.
During those pomp-filled ceremonies, I always wonder whether the families of the fallen were truly prepared for being a mourner. Is there some training for it? And, if they had an idea of what it would be like to be in that procession, would they ever have let their loved one of of the house?
