Officer Down Memorial Page

Dad,
I wanted to write to you on your EOW but I decided to wait, it's not that one particular day that I miss you the most.. it's the days like Taylor's up coming graduation that really hit home. I know you have been up there watching over us, so many things have happened and changed over the years, I really wish you could have been here with us. I can hardly believe that Taylor, not only turned 18 a couple of months ago but is now going to be graduating high school. You would be so proud of the person she has became. She is like you in so many ways, she has that laid back personality and the temper when she needs it! I know you will be with her when she walks across the stage to get her diploma Sunday! Today is grandma and grandpas 60th wedding anniversary, can you believe it?!?! 60 years is a long time! Blake is looking more and more like you every day, he is the one that would give you grey hair. Such a ball of fire, maybe his red hair fits him :) He may be ornery but deep down he is a big teddy bear just like you. I saw that Joss posted about Taylor and I going to the capital on the behalf of survivors. Taylor did a great job speaking in front of everyone. I wish every day you could be here to see our accomplishments and be here to guide us when we need it. Continue what you are doing up there... I miss you, and love you!
