Rest In Peace

I find it very hard to write this blog. In fact, I find the subject so upsetting that I was going to avoid it. Within 5 days, two Nassau County Police officers have been killed. One was hit by a drunk driver as he was attending to an accident scene on the Long Island Expressway. The other was shot point blank after stopping a suspect in a hit and run accident. The officers were 43 and 29 years old. In the prime of their lives until 2 morons took their lives away. I cannot fathom the sorrow that their families are feeling. I did not know them and my heart is breaking. I cannot get their smiling faces out of my mind. I try to rationalize it by saying they are with G-d now and in a better place and that G-d takes you on his schedule, not ours. It make me think that most of our days are spent dwelling on nonsense and minutia. I pray for Officer Olivieri and Office Lopez. Rest in peace. It's funny, we all want to go to heaven but why do we have to die to get there?
