Last night, on the way home from celebrating Ellie’s birthday at Little Elm beach, we ran across a mom and dad with twin 8-month-old daughters in an obvious moment of crisis in #nwdallas with no place to go. The @dallaspolicedept ended up on the scene. Their officers, especially Officer J. Saucedo (in second picture) acted with so much kindness, gentleness, patience, dignity and compassion towards this family in crisis. Officer Saucedo called around until he found a shelter (the @salvationarmyus) who could take the whole family and then waited for a second car seat to arrive so he could drive them down there safely. Police officers are already asked to do way more than they should at great risk to themselves and often with too little appreciation or compensation. Nevertheless, Officer Saucedo was a model of servanthood last night.
