View all 7 ReflectionsI was a child when you died, I do remember your smile and laughter especially when you snuck up behind me while I walked home from school and you hit the siren. I jumped and you laughed and slapped your seeing wheel. I cried on the day of your funeral and was impressed by all of the patrol cars.
