Tissue alert 100 Officers Escort Fallen Cop's Son to Kindergarten  Police officers from across Texas saw to it that Kevin Will, Jr., did not go to his first day of kindergarten alone. In 2011, his father, an officer in the Houston Police Department, was killed while on duty. "I think he was way overwhelmed today," Kevin's mother, Alisha Will, told The Houston Chronicle. "But he was excited about kindergarten, and I talked to him about the officers being here because his daddy couldn't." The boy never knew his father, born three months after he was killed. Standing in for his fallen daddy, nearly 100 officers took the five-year-old boy on his one-mile trek to Wildwood Elementary School in Tomball. Some officers made the trip on horseback and a helicopter escort followed overhead. Alisha noted that her son may have lost his father, but he gained a family in his father's fellow officers "He knows," she said, "that they'll always be there." | ||

Good story. But that's still tough especially that the kid never knew his dad. Wow. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Allergies seem to be kicking up here in N. Virginia, too. Elk There has never been an occasion where a people gave up their weapons in the interest of peace that didn't end in their massacre.

Stupid blurry monitor..... p.s. Thanks for posting. Why I love my home town. "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||
