I don’t know how you read this with dry eyes.

Ofc. Alden Elliott’s son wrote this poem to his father.

“For my 12th birthday he bought me a dirt bike. He bought himself one too, so that we could ride together. I will learn to ride it and we will ride together one day, Daddy.”

Today we honor the life and service of CMPD Ofc. Joshua Eyer. He paid the ultimate sacrifice protecting the city of Charlotte. His services are this morning. Praying for his family to heal through this heartbreak. 💙🖤💙🖤Queen City News CMPD News Chief Jennings
