When the Worst Happens
It seems appropriate to tell you today, right now, that I have begun to write a book about Davey’s life and death and my tough journey after losing a child. Many of you have suggested that I write a book, and, so it begins. As I sit down to write my whole story, I’m surprised […]

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 […]

He Was There
He was there when my son, David Glasser, a Phoenix Police Officer, went to work on May 18, 2016. It felt like just another day. God was there when Davey took his last call. It seemed like just another call. God was there when Davey stepped out of the police car and a bullet ripped […]

When. Not If.
The question is not ‘if’ something bad is going to happen to us. The right question is ‘when’. Because something bad is going to happen sometime in our future.
