Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Six years have gone by since I last held you. I can't believe that our little girl will soon be six. She started kindergarten this year and is full of energy. I miss you so much - you were my knight - you were my best friend, my lover, my husband and the father of our daughter. How I wish you could have been here to hold her with you strong loving arms. Tears come to my eyes everytime I try to picture you holding her and giving her one of those gentle kisses of yours. I have done alot of writing believe it or not and some of the writings have come so much from the heart to create a picture for Georgia to know what kind of daddy she has.
The first poem I named "My Daddy" - many times I can't even read it without the tears.
Here it goes.
My Daddy
You have watched me grow from the heavens above,
Oh, how I have missed those arms of love.
I have learned how to walk and talk and growl like a bear,
First I am here and then over there.
Mommy says I am just like you,
and I make her laugh at the funny things I do.
I know there is some reason god took you from this earth,
Even when it was only a short time before by birth.
You are in heaven now, keep a watchful eye on me,
watch me grow and learn my ABC's.
I have allot of "Special" people keeping me from harm,
I am learning from them what a "Great" man you are.
I see the pictures and your name etched in stone,
But, it is still hard to understand, Mommy & Me here alone.
Other kids have their daddys to play in the park,
But, I have you with me, at all times, here in my heart.
Mommy keeps saying how proud you would have been of me,
But, I am proud too, of My Daddy, you see.

I placed this poem on the National Law Enforecement Memorial wall in DC for you and one of these days I will be taking Georgia out there to experience Police Week when she can remember.

Keep us safe in your eyes. We have been through quite a bit down here, but I know you are watching out over us. Just this past year Aunt Vera and Mom came to join you, and I know they both can tell you how much we miss you and love you. Georgia misses all of you - and makes sure that when we go to the cemetery that each of you get a visit and some flowers.
I wish there was a way for you to explain to me now, of "what happened" that rainy October night. I have never really gotten any answers. All I know is I kissed you goodbye with our last "I Love You's" at 3:30 pm that day and the next thing I know I was awakened by dad to take me to the hospital. I am so thankful that the last words you heard from me were "I Love You" - You know how much those words meant to me.

You are still my knight and I love you forever - to this day I am still waiting for you to walk through the door and give me my hug and little neck squeeze to let me know things will be alright. I Love you and miss you. I will send you more later. I have more writings that I want to send to you.
Your loving wife forever, Chris

Your loving wife

I first learned of Deputy Androy's death while at the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy (157th class). We had a brief prayer for his family. He is a hero and I will remember his story and share it with my family.
