No Regrets
It’s a good feeling. No regrets. My son, David Glasser, was a Phoenix Police Officer who went to work on May 18, 2016 and he never came home. He was killed in an attempted robbery. We have a lot of tears. A huge amount of lost dreams. A big hole in our lives. But no […]

They are putting themselves at risk – not knowing what they are walking into. Just like my son, David Glasser, a Phoenix Police Officer, didn’t know it would […]

I’ve Been Here Before
Parts of the craziness surrounding us because of the pandemic feel very familiar to me. It feels like I’ve been here before. The uncertainty. The concerns. More bad news coming at me every day. The world as I know it being gone. I felt this after my son, David Glasser, who was a Phoenix Police […]

I’m Not Happy
I was talking with a friend recently and the topic of whether we were ‘happy’ or not came up. I remembered that I used to ask my husband if he was happy every once in awhile to see what he would say. But I don’t do that anymore. Since our son, David Glasser, who was […]
