"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is that little voice at the end of the day that says: I'll try again tomorrow." ~ Mary Anne Radmacher
National Police Week honors the courageous men and women who sacrifice their lives so we can be safe.
My friend Ronald Koon Leong Ng was a police officer in Honolulu, Hawaii who lost his courageous battle with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma two years ago. He was 49.
When loved ones battle a disease, you battle it with them in your heart. And you pray that they find the courage to hear that little voice at the end of the day to try again tomorrow. Ronald and his wife Annette battled his cancer with courage and heart.
I wrote a poem for Ronald when he died and we read it as we threw his ashes into Kaneohe Bay on an overcast, windy morning.
