View all 570 ReflectionsA friend of mine were talking about old law enforcement stories today and he asked me if I’d ever googled my name to see if there were any videos posted of a traffic stop I conducted. I hadn't so out of curiosity, I did. It brought me straight my previous reflection on our time together Tara. I read it and began to tear. I really wished that we had more time together. But just know, that I have not, will not ever forget you.
