View all 18 ReflectionsI've been lax in leaving reflections here for longer than I should have. Time has gotten away from me, but today I've thought of you again with love for you and much respect and honor for you. We live in a hostile and angry world at times where some people don't have the same respect for the police that they should. But when they are in trouble and need help, they still call on the police to protect them. I'm glad you don't have to serve in this time period Grandpa. I love and miss you and Grandma.❤️
