She says her dad was sweet, and she misses him immensely so a few of his fellow co-workers did something extra special. Police officers line up to escort the daughter of a fallen cop on her first day of kindergarten. It’s a day Anna Stolinsky will never forget.
As Anna got ready for her first official day of school, a few dozen others were doing the same. You see, Anna’s daddy, La Vergne Police Lieutenant Kevin Stolinsky, passed away last year in the line of duty due to a tragic medical emergency.
Knowing that the first day of school will be forever ingrained in her memory, Tennessee police officers wanted to make sure she knew how much she is loved. They took time out of their day to line the sidewalks to help send her. It certainly doesn’t replace her father, but it is a moment she will never forget.
You get to witness what loving others looks like in this special video as officers of all different departments lined up to send Anna off on her first day. She was given hugs and high-fives all the way to the door.
When she was asked about her special day, she said she was happy to see everyone but at the same time it made her sad because it reminded her of her daddy, whom she doesn’t get to see anymore. She wished she could see him again. We pray the same thing too. She was definitely ‘Daddy’s little girl.’
Though she will live a lifetime without her father, she knows there are others who will always be watching out for her. But the best part for her is knowing she will one day see her father again in heaven. Thank God for the hearts of these police officers and the kindness they showed this sweet little girl by making her first day of school extra special.
Revelations 21:4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
