There are days I don’t want to be ‘here’. So I go ‘there’.  But ‘there’ becomes ‘here’ and I don’t want to be ‘here’. So I go somewhere else but, when I get there, that’s not where I want to be, either. What’s going on? Why do I have these periods of time when I […]

Our son, David, was a Phoenix Police Officer who was killed in the line of duty on May 19, 2016. These last 8  months have been the most difficult and painful time of my life. One of the ways God has comforted me is through this truth – ” A person’s days are determined; you have decreed […]

A bomb exploded in my life on May 18, 2016. My plans were made.  I was on a course that had my son’s smile and laughter plastered all over it. And then the bomb went off – sending me onto a whole new trajectory.  Onto a path I never wanted to be on.  My former plans don’t fit the […]

for love. for acceptance. for community. This last week is proof. We all want to be loved and we aren’t getting a lot of it in our current culture. I was truly amazed by the response to the Dave Glasser #8144 Love You Campaign this last week.  I knew it was special and unique and an important part […]

If Dave were here, he’d be saying it to you, right,  James Byrd? Byrd told all of us at the funeral about Dave saying ‘Love you’ to his brothers in blue in his squad before he left for his shift.  And he expected them to say it, too.  At first, it felt a little awkward for all the guys loaded down with […]

As we move forward from May 19th E.O.W. #8144,  we are figuring out a new normal.  We are blessed with a great group of family, friends and our Blue Family.  Together, we’re taking each holiday as it comes and learning how to celebrate it with only memories of Dave. It’s not easy to do. It doesn’t feel right. A lot […]

Today would have been Dave’s 35th birthday. Yes, the media got that wrong, too.  Remember this whenever you read something from the media – even when they aren’t making things up, using pictures out of context and changing faces on pictures, they still aren’t good with details.  They subtracted years and didn’t care about months. But we […]

We voted last week… But God tells us who really puts the governing authorities in place.  He does. Be afraid, those who choose evil. When you do evil, God’s servants –  His Agents of Wrath – will hunt you down and punish you.  They do not wear weapons for nothing.  They serve God by bringing punishment […]

They sealed his locker this week. His squad did an awesome job of turning his locker into a beautiful memorial to their fallen team member and brother and friend.  As we stood in the men’s locker room at the precinct, it took me a little while to realize I was looking around, over the heads of everyone else […]

May 18 – the real date of when my son, Dave, left this earth. You would know that as well if you had seen him. His body was hooked up to all kinds of machines that were keeping his lungs moving and his heart beating. But Davey – the fun, smart, wonderful son, husband, dad, brother and friend  – […]
