public servants appreciation day

With all the hate toward police right now, Joe and I wanted to show our support for our local law enforcement agencies. We donned our Alyn and Igor t-shirts and went to the fair.

The Tucson Trafic Police gave Corban and Jovi a bear that they played with for hours! They even named them: Willy Wonder Flufter (Jovi) and Zombie Slayer (Corban) or something similar.

Corban happend to wear his Minecraft TNT bomb squad shirt and got to get his picture with an actual bomb squad suit!

 Joe bought tickets for everyone to ride the horses. Jovi was so excited about the brown horse and would have ridden the horses all day if we would have let her. Corban was a little hesitant, but wanted to go again once the ride was over.

 Jovi's sucker fell apart (the stick fell out) so she naturally picked the sucker off the grass, picked off the yucky parts, occasionally wiping them on my leg, and proceeded to lick the sucker from her hand.

We met the organizer of the fair, who happens to run a foundation in honor of her fallen LEO husband, Nohemy Hite. You can read more about her and her foundation here. When Joe and I are alone we can freely and openly talk about Alyn without getting overly emotional, but we kind of lose it when others join in on the conversation. Joe can still tell you the exact number of days since Alyn was murdered (which is 183 in case you were wondering). We shared a moment with Nohemy where we all cried and hugged at the loss we all shared and understood. My heart still breaks for the pain and loss of so many of my loved ones.

A HUGE thank you to all the public servants who fight tirelessly to serve and protect the public population!
