Sorry blog for neglecting you!


IM SORRY!
Poor blog has not been written on in ages! sooooo i'm in my room looking at my messy floor piled with clothes ( as i'm supposed to be packing at this very moment) and I much rather write a little update of whats going on.
So i'm leaving in less than 10 hours to D.C. and my suitcase is still empty lol.
I am going for National Police Week and its going to be soooo awesome! I've been going for 11 years and have made the best of friends! National Police Week is where they honor all
the fallen police officers that have died in the line of duty. They specifically honor those who died the previous year, with ceremonies throughout the week and seminars. Sounds kind of sad I know, I lost my father in 1998 and have been a part of Concerns of Police Survivors ever since
So I have gone to many of these occasions and it helps the grieving process but it has also brought me the best of friends! I don't see it has a sad time, but a time to all come together and have a good time and enjoying everyone's company. I'm so blessed to be part of such a great organization. I am now a C.O.P.S. mentor, and i mentor kids from the ages of 6-8 ( the same age I was when my dad died) and I love getting to spend time with these kids, and not only is it fun but I feel that I am able to help these kids because I was in their shows and I have experience things that they will experience. So even though I lost my father, I have gained a wonder family, a C.O.P.S. family.

It's not how these officers died that made them hereos, it's how they lived.
