View all 95 ReflectionsIts been over a year without you and I've kept you close in my heart. Close enough to have changed my whole life and follow in your example of service and become a local LEO. I miss hearing your voice late at night gaming and how you lit up the call whenever you joined. Rest in peace brother and trust that we will keep your watch.
