Leave a Reflection

Reflections for Sergeant Michael Allen Scarbrough

We're leaving for DC tomorrow. The kids are excited to see their friends again and so am I. We're leaving a day early so that Kelsey can have her "photo shoot" for the COPS calendar next year. They want to feature her for all of her work to raise money for them. She is pretty amazing!

Today is Mother's Day and I am, once again, so thankful that you and I had these 3 wonderful kids. If it weren't for them, I don't know how I would have managed this journey of grief. They make up the best of both of us and I thank God for them. I'm signing off for now so that I can spend the day with them. I love you, boo.

Haven't been to your site in a long time, and have NEVER been able to leave a reflection. Just thinking of you today and was drawn here for some reason. The boys are playing soccer together again, but there is no coach like you! :) Walked with Denise a couple of times, she is an inspiration to me not just in the strength she shows handling her loss, but just her outlook on life has influenced and helped ME. You guys were blessed during the time you had together. Denise, I love and admire you.

Tonight Josh will be inducted into the Junior National Honor Society. He finally got his mojo back, baby. After third grade and everything that happened with his teacher, I know we weren't sure how long it would take to get his confidence and drive to succeed back...we'll it's here and he's proud of himself and feels focused and happy. He is amazing! He is so super smart it's scarey. I remember how you always remarked that he needed so little study time to do well on tests. The same is true, now. I'm so excited for him and everything he's accomplished. I'm counting my blessings big time that he's come into his own. I love you, boo.

Hi Lisa,
Thank you for your note. I know it's been forever since we talked. I wasn't sure if you knew or not. I'm still at the same phone number so if you want to talk, give me a call. I'd love to catch up!

The kids and I are headed out tomorrow. We spent the day today with my sisters and mom and dad. We made the special dessert I always make, even though we won't be there with everyone, tomorrow. It was the least I could do since they were all ticked cause we planned our vacation to start tomorrow!! I'm looking forward to the warmth, especially because we got 6 inches of snow last night. Going with Jeff and Linda is going to be fun. Even though I've done it a lot now, it'll be nice to have another adult to talk to and relax with. I'll be missing you like I always do, but thank God that we have the family, friends and support we do. I love you, boo.

Dear Denise,

We haven't spoken in a long time and you have been on my mind. I thought I would look for you on the web and came across this web site. Nothing compares to what you are experiencing and I am truly saddened by your loss. Please know how wonderful you are and how much I care...

With Love and Compassion,
Lisa (your old college suitemate)

I'm just thinking about you a lot today. It'll be 3 years tomorrow. All these memories keep floating through my mind. I miss everything about you...the way you loved the kids and me...how much time you spent with them...how much time you spent with all of us...how important it was to you that the kids and I understood how much you loved us...how you made our lives so easy and fun...your dedication to our family and to your friends and to your job...your pride in a job well done...I miss hearing that somebody loved me as much as you did...how humbled you were for my love. The ache of missing you is strong today but just as strong is how grateful I am to have had you in my life...how blessed I am to have our kids...how much it means that you are still missed by everyone who knew you...how grateful we are by all the support in our lives...how much God blesses us with healing and hope for the future. Know that i'll always miss you and love you, boo.

Hey Mike. Just stopping by to read the reflections as usual. Everything here is pretty much status quo. I can't believe it's about to be 3 years. Still seems like yesterday. Pain is dull but still and always will be there. I love and miss you bro.

Take care and I'll talk to you later

Joe and I attended the C.O.P.S luncheon on Saturday that was held in your memory. You should be so proud of Kelsey she did such a wonderful job honoring you and raising money for the foundation that has done so much for her and your family and others in need. We miss you and think of you every day.

We had your memorial luncheon yesterday that Kelsey organized. She was amazing! Her speech that she gave to talk about you and how important the COPS organization is to her was so sincere and heartfelt. She raised so much money to donate to COPS. It was wonderful to have everyone there to support us and to also support this organization that means the world to her. What an extraordinary event it was! She's growing up fast, baby...I know you're proud of her. Love you, boo.

I knew and worked with you only briefly. I attended your funeral. Now, almost three years after you passed, I find myself reading through all of the wonderful messages posted, and realized - "this is the person I want to model myself after".
Best wishes to all who miss you and the LEOs who put their lives on the line every day to make our world a better place.

I had a dream about you last night...I was driving you to work and you needed to talk to Bret about a training that you weren't told about and when he came up to you at the passenger side of the car I rolled down the window so you could talk to him but he started talking to me as if you weren't there. I realized that you didn't know you had died and you kept trying to get his attention. Another friend came up and the same thing happened. I could see you but they couldn't. He was crying and I was crying about how much we missed you...then I woke up. It felt nightmarish...not that I'm surprised I had it being that it's your birthday today. I hate dreams like that, especially when I can't shake the ache in my heart. Just continue to know I love you, boo.

Just got back home after being without power for the last day and a half. All I can say is how grateful I am that we got everything back. Luckily, we were able to stay at my moms. I had to do alot of laundry there to get ready for our trip tomorrow.

With all the excitement and stress of this happening, Christmas Eve came and almost went without me having to dwell on you not being here. I was really able to just be thankful that we had somewhere to go to wait it out...that my mom and dad enjoyed the company...that I was able to help my mom prepare for everyone coming over...that we all got to spend some time with our family. I was totally able to live in the moment. It was truly a great night and now tomorrow is Christmas and it's come so quickly.

I'm looking forward to going down south to see Mike and Sue, your Aunt Trina and Uncle Floyd, and Bri and Bridge and Layton. Again, counting my blessings and feeling thankful for the love that surrounds us. I love you, boo.
