HAHA! Please sh...Who knew James would acknowledge? HAHA! Please share in how proud we are of him!<br /><br />"The Brother of Ms. Sucarichi, Tracy Edmondson, once wrote my mother a letter which dates back to roughly 1977. In the letter he states that while baby sitting his 6 year old cousin, during a Violent scene on a show called Police Story, i stated that "i wanna to be a Cop when I grow up".This letter is a must read and is Absolutely hilarious seeing that I am as of today's date a 15yr Veteran of the Chicago Police Department. <br />So the love for the career which I have Chosen, dates back 36 years. Did I just tell my age? <br /><br />I've been called then "N" so many times that one time at the end of my tour, i had to check my Drivers license to see if my name was Kunta Kinte. (Cop humor) I've seen Numerous dead bodies. I've sat in a room for hours with a murder victims who are barely Recognizable. I've carried dead bodies down project stairs while people Chanted "fuck the police". I've been shot at, spit on,kicked, death threats,like us all.The list goes on and on and on. <br />I've been asked Why would you put your life on the line for total strangers? <br />My reply has always been the exact same "Because I LOVE helping people".<br /><br />So yes.LOVE does come in many forms in life and I thank GOD that i can live out my childhood dream "TO SERVE AND PROTECT" <br />In one of the best cities in the world. <br /><br />To my cousin Tracy,may you forever R.I.P. I miss you man and thanks for the letter. I'm making a copy and framing it in my locker today.<br />Donelle,I love you cuz. Thanks for reminding me of how truly blessed I am. I needed this."<br /><br />Love you, too.Rostand Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17903116747171291749noreply@blogger.com
