Leave a Reflection

Reflections for Sergeant Michael Christopher Weigand, Jr.

Hi babe,
I think about you all the time and the last couple days I feel like I keep finding myself back at the day we lost you. I wish I would of said more before you left that morning. I wish I would of had some sort of clue that you would never return home again. I miss you terribly and would give anything to hear your voice again. I still just can not comprehend this. Why??? I guess I will never understand. There is and will never be a day that I won't miss you and think about you. I want you to come back home. I love you Mike and I always will.

Wait for me...

My Precious Son,

This isn't getting any easier on any of us, in fact, it's getting harder as the days go by. It still doesn't make any sense and I doubt if it ever will. My heart and mind long to see you and hear that wonderful laugh of yours, see that smile and hear your voice....... just one more time.
I love you son and always will from now into eternity your in my heart forever.
Love.

Hi Honey,

Today I missed you so much. I went down to the cemetery to visit as always and just sat beside you and remembered all the times we spent together, all the talks we had and laughs you gave me. It still seems impossible that this has happened, I just can't seem to accept it and still keeping asking myself why. I guess I'll never know the answer to that one. Just always know how very much your mom loves and misses you. Nothing will ever be the same now, how could it?
I love you baby boy more then life itself and will continue to love and miss you into eternity.
From my heart to yours forever,
Mom

Hi Honey,

Well it's one of those days where missing you is unbearable. It's one of those days where it seems impossible that your not with us anymore then reality hits like a ton of bricks and the pain starts all over again like the first day. Lanie's been talking about you lot but always ends with Daddy's a hero and he loves me. It breaks my heart. You would be so proud of her, she's so so much like you in every way.
I love you my precious son, that will never change.
With all my love now into eternity.
Love,
Mom

Hi hun,
I'm hoping this gets across to you. We keep leaving messages but they aren't showing up. I still can't believe this has happened, it just doesn't make sense. I try and set my mind to accept it but I just can't. I know that you are not here but I guess I hope you'll still walk through the front door. I think the summer is the worst...seeing people out together and enjoying the weather, riding bikes..but you never seem to pull up the driveway on yours. I still expect that and that will probably never change. I just wish you were here...I love ya babe.

My Precious Son,

Hi Baby boy. It's Memorial Day today and I'm missing you more and more today. Your the last thought on my mind at night and the first thought in the morning. Your always there, never far away in my thoughts no matter what I'm doing. Your in my heart forever and there you'll forever stay never to be lost or forgotten.
I love you honey and always will from the day you were born to me into eternity.
From my heart with all my love,
Mom

I had the honor of being able to ride in memory of Mike in the 2009 Police Unity Tour as a Motor Officer Escort. Every year I try and choose a Motor Officer to honor and after seeing the reflections left by Mike's family and seeing how much everyone loved him my choice was easy. I wish I did not have to ride for someone but Mike's family made it easy on me and accepted me with open arms. It was a pleasure riding with Mike's dad, Chief Mike Weigand of the Latimore Township Police Department. I pulled into the RFK Stadium lot and with over a hundred motorcycles in the parking lot Mike led me to park next to his dad. We rode into the memorial together and I got to meet Kim, Mandi, Lanie, and Erin and her husband and daughter. I wanted to spend more time with this lovely family but you guys needed your time. I wore Mike's button that Kim gave me with his D.A.R.E. picture and told everyone that would listen his story. I hope you guys find the strength to carry on and you have a friend for life. I only wish I got to know Mike when he was alive. May he rest in peace.

Hi Baby,

I keep leaving messages on here for you but for some reason they aren't showing up. Things haven't changed much at all. I still miss you something terrible and wish you were here with us every day. I can't say it's any easier on any of us, in fact each day that passes seems to get harder and more lonely without you. How I wish I could see your smiling face, hear your laugh and get one of your big hugs.
I love you honey, more and more each day that passes.
All my love now into eternity.

Beau,

It seems like it have been a while since I have written to you on here. I know I do write on your myspace wall often... and I know you are reading everything that I am saying. Things have been tough here... I really hope you have been by my side helping me through everything, and I hope I am not letting you down. Funny, how the decisions we choose to make we look up to people and wonder whether or not they would do the same or be disappointed in our final action. I would hope to never have you disappointed in me. I pray everynight to you, and not a day goes by that I do not think of you. I miss you more than words can say... Your wife is a trip though and I love her so very very much, and Lanie Bugs is you and Manders through and through.
I love you so much and will continue to pray to you everynight until the day we finally meet again... please continue to watch over all of us everyday.

LOVEEEE YOU!!!!

your jamiers.

Hi Honey,

Well today was a day that you would have loved, perfect for riding your bike. I sat at the cemetery today and talked to you for quite a while. I know I didn't tell you anything that you didn't already know though, like how much I miss you and how it hurts and how very much I love you. I know your probaby up there saying "I know Mom, I know!" Sorry but I can't help but tell you over and over again. I did some weeding out back too and talked to you the whole time I was at it, it really made the time go fast and every once in a while there would be a gentle wind that blew and it was almost like you were answering me, at least I would like to think that. I can't tell you how much I miss our daily talks on the phone, sometimes more then once a day. How I wish that phone would ring and you'd be on the other end of it, or walk through our door with that smile on your face!!!!! I know it sounds crazy but I still call your cell phone....... just to hear your voice. I got a call yesterday from a police officer in New Jersey that rides in the Unity Tour to DC. He told me he's riding for you honey, with your name on his shirt and your picture on his bike. I can't tell you how special that made me feel and I can't wait to meet him. He must be a lot like you, special. You touched so many people in such a short time, you really were and are still a very special man and so very loved. Like always my baby boy, your mom misses and loves you more then words could ever say. Your forever in my heart.
With all my love now and into eternity,
Mom

Hey sweetie,
The funniest thing happened last night while Lanie and I laid in bed. All of the sudden she started pulling my covers away from me like you did and just thought it was the funniest thing ever. Well you know me...NOBODY messes with my covers. It actually made me laugh then cry. She has never done that before so it was as if you were there egging her on. Of course this went on for about five minutes and by then I was getting frustrated. She knew just how far to push me...sound familar? I can't help but think you were around us. I miss you more and more every day, I hope you know that.

I felt so cheated for Lanie and I on Easter watching her hunt for her eggs with one of her "boys"..This is just so unfair to all of us. I had to walk away because it just got the best of me. I was the one taking pictures when you walked around with her to get her eggs. You should've been here with us and thats just the plain truth.

Just know that we miss you terribly and I can't see life ever being the same without you here. I know you are always around but I'm selfish and I want you here.

I love you Dewey! ...wait for me

My Precious Son,
Well Easter came and went yesterday without you and it was terrible. While I was standing outside of Gram and Pup's waiting for the Easter Egg Hunt to start looking at the eggs you painted when you were younger hanging on their fence my heart broke a little more. I can't understand how since it was shattered into a million pieces the day you were taken from us, but it seems to break more and more each passing day. Your Lanie loved the Easter Egg hunt and standing next to the Easter Bunny, she was the only bright spot of the day for me. I can't tell you how much she reminds me of you!!!!!
Just always always know how very proud I am of you and always will be, you are the type of son that any mom dreams of having and I was lucky enough to be called your mom. I love you more then words could ever say and that will never change.
I love you Boj, forever and always.
Mom

Hey love,
Well Easter's coming up and Mom,Dad,Lanie and I are heading back to Pitt. It is really heartbreaking not to have you going with us this year but I just felt that Pup would really love to have Lanie back there for the traditional Easter egg hunt. Lanie is all we have left of you besides our memories and I thank God each and every day for her. I love that you live inside her and that she is so much like you.
She is really excited for the Easter bunny to come...she is such a sneak like you...she found her basket and was asking questions. She knew that was her stuff inside that basket but she just had to make sure.

I'm wishing you a Happy Easter and know that I love you..that will never change.

Love ya babe!

To the family of Sergent Michael Christopher Weigand Jr.,

My heart breaks to read and feel a glimpse of your pain. Know that you have people praying for you and hoping you catch moments of happiness through his daughter. I have never met him but I can see his kind spirit as it shines through his eyes.

Hey buddy, I'm not real good with this sort of thing so you're gonna have to bare with me. I've been wanting to write you for so long but the words were never there, and if they were there I'd cry to much to put them down. It seems like only yesterday that we were workin in neighboring jurisdictions and you'd have my back and I'd have yours. And can remember singing "Lean on me" over the nextel's to each other when it would come on the radio, you remember that. Those weren't just words we were singing it was the truth. And, I'll forever cherish the brief time that I did get to actually work with you at E.A.R.P.D. I'll never ever forget the motorcyle rides and you actually getting me into riding. Heck, you even rode my first bike home for me because I didn't even know how to ride the thing, but you taught me, and to this day I love to ride. All the good times hunting we had, there isn't a day goes by that I don't have some sort of fond memory of you. Mikey I'm trying real hard to fight back the tears writing this, but I know you wouldn't want me to cry. Heck you'd just pull some trick on me and make me laugh like you always did. Anyways buddy I just want to tell you thanks for being with me about a week ago when I got into that pursuit. I can't believe the only damage to my car was just to the pushbar and I was not injured. I know for a fact you had to have been there riding shotgun and looking out for me and the others involved in the chase, and we got him, without anyone being hurt. I know your family, your wife, and your little girl miss you terribly. Heck man I can't even begin to imagine what they are feeling if I miss you this much. The world lost a great officer and person when it lost you. But, I know where you're at, and someday we will meet again, singing lean on me, only we won't need the nextels in heaven. Till then keep looking over your family and your brothers in blue. I will forever miss you Mikey.

My Bojo,

Well I know I don't need to tell you we lost three Pittsburgh Officers yesterday. I know your probably with them talking about your hometown and the Steelers. I don't know, maybe because their from Pittsburgh that this just makes the hurt and pain of not having you here that much worse, it brings back all the feelings or intensifies the feelings I had and still have the day we lost you. I guess it doesn't help either that they were taking the same day Gram left us a year ago. I keep looking at your picture in my car taken the day before we lost you, you were so happy that night and it does make me smile but then sad too because I'll never see that smile again. I miss you baby boy more then I can ever put into words. My love for you, even though your in heaven now will never lessen along with my pride of being your mom. I know your with me, keep an eye on Daddy and keep him safe. I know you have his back all the time, your partners forever and that will never change.
I love you honey so very much.

Hi Bojo,

Well todays your kind of day, April 1st, April Fools Day and I woke up this morning wondering what kind of tricks you had in store for us today...... then remembered. Your the last thought on my mind before I go to sleep at night, when I finally go to sleep at night and the first thought I have when I wake up. It's almost like I can hear you say good morning, mom. I don't know why, but this morning is one of those mornings that are hard ones, missing you so very much. The township is planning a beautiful memorial to be placed at the park you gave your life for. I know the supervisors are all so proud of you and miss you too. I can't explain or put into words the loss and emptyness I still have and it just seems to get worse as time goes on. Just always remember my precious son, how very very much I love you, miss you and how proud I will always be of you. Your my shining star in the night.
My love to you now and forever,
Mom

Hey babe,
So I was driving around today and of course you were on my mind...I remembered the first words you ever said to me at Zwingli Church when you volunteered for the Mother and Daughter banquet that Mom dragged me to. You walked up to me and said "Mandi, would you like a piece of pie?"...I just kept laughing to myself thinking what a pickup line that was but how sweet. You were so shy and I remember you had the best smile....then I started to cry. Its just simple things like that...they make me miss you more and more everyday. I just cannot believe we have to go through this...this is just not fair!! I just want you here!! Everyone says it will get easier in time but I just can't see that happening...as the days pass the more I long for you, your smile, your laugh and just to have you in my arms. Lanie is becoming more and more like you everyday. She has picked up your mannerisms, your wonderful sense of humor and her smile reminds me of you. She really misses you but I know you are with us everyday..keeping an eye on us...still loving us from above. I love ya babe...until we meet again.

Love,
Mandi

Hi Honey,

Well here it is another Sunday just about gone by and nothing's changed. My hurt and pain are still the same if not worse. It's one of those days where missing you is unbearable. I can't put into words exactly how I feel except empty and lost, like a part of me has been ripped out never to be put back and make me whole again.
I love you baby boy and that will never change, nor will my missing you until I get to see your smiling face again.
I love you with all my heart now until the end of time.
Love always,
Mom

My Precious Son,

Six months since I've seen you and it still feels so unreal to me, like a bad nightmare I can't wake up from no matter how hard I try. Nothing seems the same, actually nothing is the same and never will be again. I know your here with us, I can feel you at times but I just wish I would see that smile and hear that laugh again or have the phone ring and have you on the other end like you used to do every day, but I know as much as I wish and hope for it, it will never happen and that makes the future so hard to want to live with. I know your watching over all of us and your fellow brothers, please keep an eye on ALL of them because no family should have to go through this. I pray for all law enforcement every night that they get home safe to their families. Please help Daddy, he's going through a really rough time and misses you more then he let's on to any of us, but you were not only his son, but his partner and God knows he misses you! As always honey, I love you more the life itself and miss you terribly, always always know that!
From my heart to yours,
Love always and forever,
Mom

I wish to offer my deepest condolences to Sgt. Michael Weigand Jr.s family. I wanted to continue to read the reflections, but it's kinda hard to do that with tears in ones eyes. Sgt. Weigand, your family loves you so very much. I too wish that you could be with your family and especially that little girl. Keep an eye on your family and Brothers and Sisters in Blue, don't forget the ones of us that have to walk the beat on the inside of the fence.
