Picking Up the Pieces – a parent's worst nightmare

  • When The Answer is ‘No”

    This is a tough one.  It took me awhile to come to ‘a good place’ on this topic.  It took me even longer to be willing to share it. God could have saved my son, David Glasser, a Phoenix Police Officer, who was killed in the line of duty on May 18, 2016.  God is…

  • Dream Snatcher

    I would love to post a feel-good blog for today since its Mother’s Day. Unfortunately, the truth is that this day does not feel all that good for Mothers who have lost children. It’s been almost 7 years since my son, David Glasser, who was a Phoenix Police Officer was killed in the line of…

  • It’s Growing Again

    I feel the sadness gradually growing in my heart.  I try to ignore the mound 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,…

  • It’s not all Flowers and Smiles

    Tomorrow is the 1st day of May and May is a tough month for me. My son, David Glasser, was a Phoenix Police Officer who was killed in the line of duty in May 2016. His official End of Watch is May 19 but, if you’ve read my blogs you know I often use May…

  • It’s Difficult

    Being left behind is hard….. it’s tough. When someone you love dies, the emotions are strong, the grief is heavy and the loss is extremely painful.  After losing my son, my mom and dad, two of my older brothers along with all of my grandparents and all of my aunts and uncles as well as…

  • The Heart of a Hero

    Heroes recognize each other. They sense it when they have read about or met another person who has the same level of commitment to the greater good as they do.  These heroes are willing to put themselves at risk in order to help or protect others. Of course, none of them would call themselves heroes. …

  • His Best Life

    Disappointments. Pain. Grief. Loss. Heartbreak. These words describe many of my days since May 18, 2016 when my son, David Glasser, who was Phoenix Police Officer, was killed in the line of duty. This doesn’t just describe the first year after Davey was killed, or the second year. It’s been every year. The grief changes…

  • Picking Up the Pieces

    In the early days of this painful journey since my son, David Glasser who was a Phoenix Police Officer, was killed in the line of duty, I realized that I needed to look up…. and focus my eyes on the future. I knew I couldn’t do this alone so I had to look up to…

  • How Can This Happen to Me?

    I had never experienced anything like this before. My son, David Glasser, was a Phoenix Police Officer who was killed in the line of duty on May 18, 2016. I had no frame of reference for the devastation that happened in my life when Davey died. My entire world turned up side down while my…

  • Making a Difference

    Law Enforcement is one of the most contagious careers I have ever seen.  When dad or mom is a doctor, there is sometimes one doctor in the family.  If a parent is a lawyer, there might be one child who becomes a lawyer.  Or one child becomes a pastor when a parent or a grandparent…
