Reflections for Sergeant Michael Allen Scarbrough

Today Kels turns 14. I remember how happy we were when we found out I was pregnant. After all the testing and procedures our miracle happened on her own. With a family full of boys, you were so excited to have a girl. Your first words once she arrived were "we did it, we had the girl!" Since then she has been affectionally called "the girl", "Kelsey-girl", anything that included the word girl.......I just know that she was "daddy's girl". I loved watching you be her dad. You were the very best. Your unconditional love and involvement in every aspect of her life showed her how important she was to you. Her competitive nature and love of sports come from you. Everytime she goes for a goal or strives for the A on a test, I think of you. Her excitement and enthusiasm for life is a combination of us both. I thank God we have her. She knows how much you loved her and she continues to strive to make you as proud of her as she always has. You being gone from our physical lives today, is felt by us all. Please watch over us and help to bring us comfort. We miss you, baby. I love you, boo.

Well, I'm glad to say that I got through one special day without you. I couldn't wait for the day to be through so that I could say I made it. Now here's another 2 days later. It's 19 years ago today that we had our first date and when you heard the song you wanted played at our wedding. What a softy! We knew right away that this was it. We were so blessed and I thank God we had as much time as we did. I'm always missing you and loving you. I hope you and Lizzie are watching over all of us today and always. We could use the extra support. Love you, boo.

I just got back from the COPS retreat for spouses. It was the first time I've physically left the kids. I was pretty anxious, to say the least. Turns out I had nothing to worry about. The kids did great and so did I. I know you know how much of a lifeline COPS is. I learned a lot about myself this weekend and connected with a bunch of other moms and spouses. We laughed together and cried together and supported each other. I thank God that I've met so many wonderful people but at the same time mourn for the reason I had to meet them. I miss you and love you and am thinking of you so much today. Thank you for the wonderful memories and for loving me. Love you, boo.

I come here everyday. I look forward to it. In some way it's comforting to read all the reflections. I feel connected to you here. I've just been thinking of you a lot and missing you. All of our anniversary things are coming up....our first date, my birthday, the day you asked me to marry you, Kels' b-day, our anniversary. Then we go right into the holidays. I'm definitely bogged down by this grief right now. It wouldn't be so hard if we hadn't loved so much but then again, I'm so thankful that we did because we had it all. I had the best in you. I was the best because of you. You know me, though, always the optimistic one... I know it'll get better..that's the one thing that makes this bearable. Love you boo.

The kids are starting school tomorrow. I'm feeling glad about that. Everyone believes things will get better for me once the kids are back into their normal routine. It's been difficult working the summer knowing that they were home without me. They did well, I just didn't. I miss the secure feeling I had knowing that when I wasn't with them that you were. I hope I can feel that way again. I'm letting myself grieve and move through another step in this journey. Please watch over us...I love you, boo.

Take Care Buddy....

August 26, 2005

To the family and friends of Sergeant Michael Scarbrough and his fellow officers: I wanted to extend my deepest condolences on behalf of my family for the grievous loss you sustained when Sergeant Scarbrough was tragically killed. You are in my thoughts and prayers. May you be comforted and embraced by the circle of love and support you will receive from the law enforcement community, and other police survivors. This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the service Michael gave to his community and the citizens of Michigan, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made in the line of duty. His dedication to his work will be forever remembered and his memory honored. How tragic he had to die at such a young age leaving a loving wife and three children.
