Just thinking of you so much around the holidays. I still make Pumpkin Pie for you every Thanksgiving. No one else really likes it, but I've made it every year for you. Actually...this year, Brittney is making it. I remember how you always insisted we have Pumpkin Pie and you would usually end up eating the whole thing. :)
I love you and miss you and think of you every day.

I was so sad to read what happened to Tara after hearing about my niece Tiffany Bishop. Maybe now action will be taken to see tragedies like this never happen again.

Yes, Mr. Drummond, I think Tiff and Tara are getting along great. Thank you on behalf of Tiffany's family for your kind words and support.

Always in our hearts.

September 13, 2005 changed many lives forever. Our lives have been changed again today as we spent the day with a family much like us having lost someone so dear and so early. Rest in love Tiff. Missing you Tara and have had you on the mind all day today. Remembering the days and the Tara stories.

Tara, another year has past.... yet we still think of you every day....

There is a line
the color of the sky
on a clear afternoon

There is a line
the hue of the ocean
on a bright sunny day

There is a line
the purest shade of a newborn's eyes
awakening for the first time

There is a line
that protects us from harm
in all we do
whether day or night

There is a line
no one can penetrate
no one can alleviate

There is a line
made of those who choose
to follow a calling many do not hear
and still more do not comprehend

They choose to walk
the path of fear, hate, and mistrust
taken by so few
but marked by so many

And when one leaves this line
they leave a legacy
but the line does not break
for the remaining must still protect

There may be emptiness
a loss, or sadness
but never a hole
not in this line

This line that holds
the ghosts of the souls who have gone
and the souls of the ghosts who will be
The Thin Blue Line

Missing you baby.



Sunny days seem to hurt the most
Wear the pain like a heavy coat
I feel you everywhere I go
See your smile, I see your face
I hear you laughing in the rain
Still can't believe your gone

It ain't fair you died to young
Like a story that had just begun
But death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I've been through
Just knowing, no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder, who you'd be today
Would you see the world
Would you chase your dreams
Settle down with a family
I wonder what would you name your babies
Someday's the sky's so blue
I feel like I can talk to you
And I know it might sound crazy
Sunny days seem to hurt the most
I wear the pain like a heavy coat
The only thing that gives me hope
Is I know, I'll see you again someday
Someday, someday

We went to Tiffany Bishop's funeral today. It was like living Sept 2005 all over again. I hurt for her family....but more than anything I am so angry that another instructor has been so careless as to let this happen again!

Tara, you are in my heart, in my mind, in every thought. I long to hug you and hold you again. I wish I had not been so trusting and naive. I love you baby.

I remember reading Tara's story back when this happened. I came across her name today and read the entries from her loved ones. It still breaks my heart that she is gone from you all.

As a mother, I cannot imagine this kind of pain. My heart and my prayers are with you all as you continue to love and miss this wonderful girl.

Please know she is not forgotten by her brothers and sisters in law enforcement. I know it doesn't help ease your pain but she lives on as long as we remember her.

Merry White Christmas today. I bet you would have made a great snowman too. It was beautiful, but there is a big hole without you. You playing Santa on Christmas morning is still the best.

Merry Christmas baby. It snowed today--Christmas Day! Daisy ran and bounced around in the snow. I know she still misses you and waits for you to come home. I miss you so much but know I will see you again. Each day is a day closer to seeing you again.

You'r the prettiest gaurdian angel a guy could have. Until we meet again, please know that I think about you often.

And if I had it to do all over,
I'd do it all over again,
If tomorrow I found one more chance to begin,
I'd love you all over again
