Father-son recreate 1998 Father’s Day card

(WWAY)– It’s a special Father’s Day moment twenty years in the making. A Washington  father and son duo recreated a photo from 1998.

Earlier this week, Auburn WA Police Department shared two photos of Officer Andy Gould and his son Michael. In both photos, Michael is sitting on his father’s lap in a squad car.

The photos show that Michael did indeed follow his dad into law enforcement just as predicted.

In 1998, Michael wrote a Father’s Day card that said, “When I get bigger I’m going to be my Dad’s partner and catch bad guys and burglars.”

Twenty years later, Michael squeezed his 6’7″ frame onto his dad’s lap to recreate their photo, but this time, both men wear a uniform. Michael is a King County sheriff’s deputy.

“Recreating the photo 20 years later was a wonderful tribute to father and son,” the department said on Facebook. “Hope all you fathers out there had as wonderful a day as our own Officer Gould!”
