'I was just dumbfounded.' A Michigan high school graduate was overwhelmed when police officers showed up to his celebration, honoring his late dad, a former officer—and bringing a very meaningful gift.
After much of the local police force showed up at Micah Schieber's high school graduation party ... the party got even better.
The teen's father, a former Midland, Michigan police officer, died suddenly of an undetected heart condition while running the 2007 Chicago Marathon. When Micah asked his mother Sarah to invite the officers -- some of whom had worked with his father -- to his graduation open house, he told ABC News Michigan affiliate WJRT that “I just thought it’d be cool to have a piece of my family and my dad at my graduation, because that’s something I’ll always miss.”
Midland Police Chief Cliff Block, who worked with Micah’s late father, Chad, the chief told WJRT that he had “no hesitation” about whether he'd make the party.“Car after car after car, I was dumbfounded,” he told WJRT. The officers also didn't forget to bring graduation gifts to present to Micah, including a trading card featuring his father, and $111 in cash, symbolizing his father’s badge number.Micah told WJRT that he is forever grateful.The teen was only 6 when his father passed away.
