A daughter’s note to her father, a police officer, is making headlines. 

An off-duty police officer working with the Waco Police Department was ready to head out and try to rescue people from Hurricane Harvey when his daughter wrote him a note that pulled at his heartstrings, KFOR reported. 

The young daughter didn’t want her father to leave, but she seemed to understand that he was working on a crucial assignment. 

“Dear Daddy, I hope you don’t get hurt, but I hope you help other people that need it more than you do,” she wrote. “I hope no one gets hurt more. I hope everyone gets away the hurricane. I love you!”, the handwritten note reads.  

A photo of the note was posted by the Waco Police Department who praised the young lady.
