Little girl is surprised by her departed father's colleagues: they escort her to her first day of kindergarten (+ VIDEO)
The first day of kindergarten is a crucial stage in a child's life. This is the first real step towards achieving independence. Unlike nursery school, the child begins to learn to socialize with their peers and to pay attention to the first educational, albeit playful, activities.
A 5 year old girl started her first day of kindergarten in an unforgettable way. The little girl was accompanied by a group of police officers from Tennessee, in the United States, in a very significant show of affection: they were all colleagues of her father who had passed away.

Officers from the La Vergne Police Department arrived at the little girl's home on 20 motorcycles and accompanied Anna Stolinsky to her first day of school. This moving gesture was made to honor her father, Sergeant Kevin Stolinsky, who died prematurely of a heart attack while on duty. "I was leafing through a book when I saw that the policemen had arrived," said the little girl. Casey, Anna's mother, was aware of the plan (organized by her brother-in-law, David Stolinsky - also a police officer).
The woman said that she and her daughter then accepted a ride from Lieutenant David Durham. It was an emotional journey for Casey, as the Lieutenant was the same person who had accompanied them to the hospital the night Casey's husband passed away. "He was the one who took us to the hospital the night we got the call about Kevin. I sat on that same seat," she commented.
