i've been watching the entire Miami funeral for the two fallen officers for a few hours now. there are thousands of people attending. my cousin is there, he's been sending me cell phone photos.
Officer Castillo's 3 young sons came to the podium to speak about their Dad. only they started sobbing and couldn't do it.
that's when i lost it. my heart breaks for 4 boys who have lost their parents. their heroes.
The ``last call'' came long after darkness had fallen over a Miami Lakes cemetery on Monday.
A dispatcher announced over the police radio: ``All units stand by for a moment of silence.''
She then called out their names and badge numbers: Amanda Haworth, 2700. Roger Castillo, 1725.
Children and parents, a wife and a partner, siblings, grandparents, friends and fellow cops sobbed, ending the daylong rite of remembrance for the two Miami-Dade detectives who had lost their lives in the line of duty.
