Happy birthday dad!!! I love and miss you so very much. I have had so many milestones this year and wish you had been hear to experience them with me. I found this poem and thought of you.

ITS SOUNDS LIKE THUNDER FAR AWAY...

It sounds like thunder far away, but the skies are blue and bright...
And soon they crest the hill nearby, and ride into our sight.
They shake the ground with powerful sound, and they make some hearts beat fast...
They look so proud and noble, like Knights come from the past.

Side by side, they always ride, and seem to move as one...
From early in the morning light, to the setting of the sun.
And children point and wave to them, from cars that pass them by...
And young ones ask their parents, why the men have mirrors for eyes.

They ride the roads, and fight for good, and defend small ones like you...
They ask to ride, and do with pride, and sometimes they are few.
Like men of steel, on Silver Wings, they sparkle in the light...
then with a roar and rumble, they ride out of our sight.

Sometimes when one has fallen, never to ride again...
You can hear the others calling, like thunder on the wind.
Side by side, they slowly ride, and their thunder is a mournful sound...
And the mirrors hide their eyes from us, when teardrops fall to ground.

So if you see one riding, and you look into his face...
You see your reflection in his eyes, you know that you are safe.
For motormen are a special breed, they love to ride the wind...
And when you hear the thunder boom, the fallen ones ride again.

Dad I miss you tremendously but I know that you are always with me. I spent Fathers Day thinking about all the fun times we shared together. What I would do to hear you say " Hi angel" one more time. I know one day we will meet again but for now I will continue to make you proud.

Dave,

Just a short note to let you know my son is graduating from the LAPD academy this Friday. He also wants to become a motorman with LAPD. If you can find a way to watch over him as he pursues his carrer. He wanted the CHP but as usual they drag and drag on hiring. He spent 4 tours in IRAQ and has been thru the worse. I would appreciate if you would watch over him as well as my daughter who is a Customs and Border Protection Federal Officer. God Bless and I still remember the good times. God Bless, you will always be in my thoughts. Semper Fi partner...
