View all 65 ReflectionsWell Dee we did it. I am on the last 5 hours of my shift and career as a police officer. After 37 years who ever thought I would do this job twice. I turned into a desk jockey. You would be laughing your guts out seeing me sitting a desk. I guess that is what they do with the old mules huh? Dee we all miss you. Mom and Dad passed on. You know that though huh? Tell them hi and give the a big hug for me.
Thank you for keeping me safe during shift. I knew you were there, I could feel you.
Thanks, brother
Love, Clark
