Reflections for Police Officer William Harris Williams
AUG. 24 2:39 A.M.
THIS IS A LITTLE SOMETHING THAT I FOUND ON THE INTERNET, THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH ALL OF YOU!! IT IS VERY TRUE!!!
(Loving A Cop)
The policeman stood,
infront of a mirror.
He was making sure his badge,
was shiny and clear.
His wife looks at him,
and sees determination.
The policeman looks at his wife.
In her eyes, he sees fear.
Will he make it home tonight,
Or will he pay the ultimate price?
What would happen if he was not here?
Who would feed the children?
Who would catch the crooks,
so everyone could sleep without fear.
Would his memory live on or be forgotten?
These are all questions, minus a lot,
that you have to ask
If you marry a cop.
Why Did He Fall.
He had to fall,
and give his all.
Why did they take him?
I guess you'll never know.
In your heart,
he is still there.
And in your memory,
He is very near.
But in reality,
He is an eternity away.
Never again will he be
your parnter on the street.
You won't see him at roll call tomorrow,
and won't take him to dinner.
He may be gone, but will always be here,
And so tomorrow, when you lay down to sleep,
Know he is watching over you,
And taking care of you on your beat.
And yes you were his partner,
Until the very end.
But that does not mean,
You can't still be friends.
--Back To The Story..PS..this week at least once, please thank a cop for what they do..and remember they are just like me and you!

As you well know, today marks the one year of Bill's trategy. The incident that left him lying lifeless for the next two days. It's still so unreal. I'm sure Bill is in heaven taking care of all of his loved ones. It has left his wife without a husband, his children without a father, his parents without one of their sons, his brothers and sister without a sibling, his nieces and nephews without an uncle, his in-laws without one who was part of the family, his close friends and co-workers without one of their buddies. We miss you Bill so very much. Thank you for all of your kindness, support and for always being there. I'm sure that in spirit you still are. Please protect the ones you love and all of those in need.

Bill,
It's Fathers' Day and we miss you very much. You were an excellent dad to your children. You were a special gift to your nieces and nephews also. I'm sure you are in heaven. Please take care of all of your loved ones always.
Love, peace and good will to all in heaven and earth. You will never be forgotten.
Annie
