Going Viral
The now-viral post received nothing but favorable comments. Most people could see that Heather had raised her son well despite her struggles. But things didn’t start to get out of hand until the message worked its way around other police. When Eddy shared the image on his own social media profile, the police force was in uproar.
They Were Grateful
“Well Noah you touched all of our hearts today,” Lakeland PD wrote on their Facebook page. “Your support means so much to all of the men and women who put on the uniform every day. We wish you the happiest of Birthdays!” But Eddy wasn’t through yet. Eddy realized her predicament now, and he felt so awful. He was aware that he owed Donald’s struggling mother something in return.
