Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Officer Youngstrom, I met you once when you were briefly assigned to the Vallejo area. I remembered your polite professionalism and genuine compassion that you showed to the injured folks at the scene of a vehicle collision.

As a fellow police officer, instances like these are what we dread to hear. It is the often unspoken realities of our job that we tuck away in the back of our minds hoping that it will never happen but on occasion, God puts his hands on our shoulder and says "sorry my child, it's your time."

I have lost more friends in this line of business than I care to remember and it seems to get harder for me, each and every time. I only hope that I have the strength and courage to carry on in the memory of brave warriors such as yourself.

Rest in peace my LEO brother. My deepest condolences to the family.

Gone From My Sight

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship, at my side,
spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts
for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck
of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.

Then, someone at my side says, "There, she is gone"

Gone where?

Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast,
hull and spar as she was when she left my side.
And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.

Her diminished size is in me -- not in her.
And, just at the moment when someone says, "There, she is gone," there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes!"

And that is dying...
