I was writing a thank-you card for a wedding gift when I heard the knock at my door. It was 2005, I was 30 years old, and my life was about to change forever.
I was away from home, staying at a hotel for a school guidance counselors' conference. When I opened the door to the corridor I expected to see my colleagues at the threshold, inviting me to breakfast. But instead, I saw the silhouette of a police uniform filling the frame.
