Irreplaceable
I thought it was irreplaceable. My wedding ring had a loose stone so a major jewelry store sent it in to be fixed. And my ring disappeared.

It Has Been Decided
My son, David Glasser, was a Phoenix Police Officer who was killed in the line of duty on May 18, 2016. His official EOW date is May 19th but, if you had seen him in the hospital bed like I did, you would know that the awesome son, brother, husband, father, friend and police officer […]

It’s Invisible…

I Feel It
I feel the sadness gradually growing in my heart. I try to ignore the cloud of dread that is starting to form deep in my soul. It’s May. The empty place in my life begins to blot out the sunshine. This emptiness has a name – Davey. My son, David Glasser, a Phoenix Police Officer, […]
