It has been two years now since that tragic incident. It seems as if it happened yesterday.
This was something that made people stop for a moment, and think how vulnerable anyone is. Atacking an police officer in the service of her duties. Makes you think of the evil that is around us. She was suppose to go home that night after her tour of duty, and be with her three children. That never happened that night because of a crazed and evil person engulfed with hate. The unpredictability of our chosen profession is astounding. Miosotis died doing what she loved...being an NYPD police officer.
Rest in peace my sister..you are not forgotten by all those who loved you, and the mentioning of your name to keep your memory alive always.
May your loving children and family always know that you are a hero and were a member of the NYPD, and that this city owes you a great gratitude for your service and sacrifice. Until the day we meet.
