Night people...

 Fear not the night.
Fear that which walks the night.
And *I* am that which walks the night.

But only evil need fear me …
and gentle souls sleep safe in their beds… 
because I walk the night. 

By Dave Grossman 

Lucky is a midnight shift cop... He spends a good portion of his life in the dark... The definition of "butt white" came from someone having seen his ass. It is so white, it's blue. He sleeps during the day and lurks around the shadows at night... Much like a vampire. When he HAS to be traversing the sunlit world, he always wears the dark sunglasses and whines about how bright it is...
But when the shit hits the fan during the scary, scary night, this is a man who will rush into a house filled with smoke to rescue puppies. This is a man who will trek through the woods on foot, in the dark for many miles in search of a missing person. This is a man who will respond to all sorts of horrific accidents and incidents... Rain, snow, humidity, cold, whatever...It doesn't matter. He says it's just a job, but I know that if it truly were, there wouldn't be the passion and effort he shows in doing the job. Another reason of the multitudes that I love him and I am VERY proud to be able to say, "Yeah. I'm HIS girl!" every day.
Regardless of how you feel about them, Firefighters, EMTs, Paramedics and police officers work the streets night and day to keep people safe. They miss their families to take care of yours. In 2010, there were 85 firefighters, 39 EMTs and 160 Police Officers killed in the line of duty. If you are a firefighter, emt, paramedic, police officer, Thank you. If you love one, or appreciate one, or know one or even just see one, just take a moment to thank them.
