Where do I begin thanking you for the person you have made me. Even though I was only 9 1/2 when you were taken from me I still think about you everyday. I became an RN so I could care for people at the end of their lives hoping you were cared for in the same manner. Thank you so much for the best 9 1/2 years of my life. I love you so much and wish you could have been here to protect me from so many situations. You left me in great hands and I have never gone a day that I haven't felt loved. I love you daddy and can't wait until the day we are re-united in heaven....I love you daddy!

Life has gone on, but its not the same with out you here
I wish you could see your grand children, how they have grown into fine young men. And your great grand children, I know you would have spoiled them all. I talk of you often so they do know you. What a wonderful father you are and a great friend. And I'm so proud of you being a police officer. You are always in my thoughts and my heart and I miss you so much.

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.
