This is a very sad but at the same time a most heart-warming story. Ironically, it’s almost the story, of a man named Brady, who was bring up three (3)…. Almost….
But instead it is the story of recently deceased Ligonier Township Pennsylvania Police Department Officer Eric Eslary, divorced father of three, and his new wife, Mary Beth Taylor-Eslary, divorced mother of three, who got married a few years ago when Mary had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and as Eric wanted to ensure she and her kids would be cared for.
It is also the story of “Blek”, Eric’s loyal K-9 partner who, since Eric died, has kept watch over Mary, her three kids and her three step-kids…
Christy is not a house-keeper, but she does make keepsakes, and for Mary she made her piece d’ resistance. Christy, who lost her own step-son in a car crash in 2008, felt Mary’s pain and offered to do a photo-shoot in rememberance of Eric. Christy suggested the idea to Mary after coming across a similar series featuring Rebecca Jones, another police officer’s widow who’s husband died last year, and her three (3) young children in Norfolk, Virginia, and the photo shoot was carried out – free of charge – on June 28. Said Mary, who has set up a scholarship fund in her own step-son’s name (which you can access here): “I just wanted it to be perfect. To me, this is telling their love story.” In the sequence of 12 images, the pair pose with signs detailing their love for Eric (I have posted them all here but you can also see them on Christy’s Facebook Page, as well as Mary’s reply: “I took a deep breath when I saw this post today… and looking slowly at each one I was just blown away. Your strength is inspiring. These photos you have shared with everyone are a gift… a beautiful reminder.”
And then there’s my personal favorite, a photo of Mary’s new back tattoo, depicting angels lying on top of Eric’s police badge with a blue and black ribbon (which is symbol of mourning for police officers) running through it…
