My Dad, My Hero

I'm so excited for my dad!! He went back to work for the local police department. Wooohoo! Law enforcement has been his life. He worked for several police departments and a sheriff's department, from a patrolman to a detective, while I was growing up and gave it up to work a more stable job at the post office (for the family). He retired from the post office a couple years ago. In 2005, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and after a complicated surgery where we almost lost him, followed by radiation treatments, he remains in remission and is back to work doing what he loves! Not bad for someone in their late 60's, huh?

I talked to him last night after his first day "on the job" and he is soooo excited! He sounds like a little kid on Christmas morning! I am sooooo proud of him. He is my dad and he is my hero!
