Sensless Loss

I just wanted to say sometimes I do not understand what really motivates people. My cousin was murdered 3 days before his 23 birthday a couple of weeks ago. I have been praying they catch the killer. Noone knew who did it or really even why. Today there was a press release and they caught the killers. There were three of them. Ages 19, 21 and 22. They were all just kids. Their motive was murder. I'm glad they caught them and I'm just sitting here feeling stunned and so sad. What a waste of so many lives. You know I have watched this whole thing unfold now and the reactions of friends and family and the whole history of my cousin's life. We really are only here a short time. Make the best of it. For those of you in recovery I pray for you. For those of you inching to recovery please make the leap soon I pray for you as well.

Love,
PM
Hey, I just read the press release. I'm so sorry. I love you, Kat
Thanks Kat,
I meant to say the motive was robbery which they did and one person even knew him from H.S. Sheesh.

Hey PM,

I'm so shocked about hearing this. I'm so sorry about your brother. Damn, what is this world coming to? I'm sure you are asking this very question. I can't even imagine your pain. All I can say is I'm so sorry for what you are going through.

Love,
Liz

Ok, I'm sorry anyway....
it's okay liz
thanks liz, kat, fsguy for your kindness
i feel so angry. first thing i wanted to do was shatter something
next thing that actually went through my head was a drink
don't worry i'm not gonna drink
that's the last thing i need
i'm just feeling an overwhelm of feelings and anger at the uselessness
and loss of innocent life for something so needless

well thanks for your thoughts

I wish I could say something PM to help you feel better but I really don't know what to say. I can't even say I know how you feel because never have I been in that situation, thank God. It's a fear anymore though for most families and it's a shame to say the least. I was just watching America's Most Wanted before I read this story and it's sickening. IT's happening everywhere. So, it's a fear we all have in the back of our minds. That's all I can really say. I'm sorry.
Amy,
my heart hurts to read that.
I will never understand how someone could kill for no reason.I am here if you need me and you know where to find me sweetie.
love you

Hi PregMom...

Oh PM,
I have no words sweetie....I don't even know where to begin. It all seems so senseless and it is so tragic. They were all so young and the ones who killed your cousin, how could they be so evil. I am just at a loss....maybe because my son is that age....and that worry in this day and age is there for all of us with kids.....
I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers....
Love,
Tina
Tina, JD, Littlebeach, and Buggy,
Thank you all for your responses. I know there are no good words to express anything right at the moment. You know it's just plain tragic all the way around. I guesss kids do things and they don't know the repecussions of their actions. Maybe they didn't mean to kill him but they left him in the parking lot brain dead. He was found by the security. Maybe they were scared and ran? Maybe maybe maybe. .... in whichever case it was it is just sad so many lives are thrown away. Those boys have families who love them too and are hurting. While I am glad they were caught and I don't want them to be set free I also feel badly for their families who have to also live this horror story.
Well anyway, I just wanted to say thanks to you guys for the support and heartfelt words.

Love,
PM

I would also like to add my condolences and will say a prayer for you. I had a patient friday who came in in a power wheel chair who suffers from post polio. usually post polio hits people in their teens . My step mom was affected at age 11 and is now 61 wears a leg brace and was told 30 years ago she should be in a wheel chair. This man had 55 years with no problems lived a full life and now he is going down hill as of 8 years ago physically. Unfortunatly his knees have no cartalidge in them what so ever so when he stands ( which is incredible that he can even do this) his pain is excrusiating with in 2 steps. I spent a hour and a half just talking with these very nice people and I told them I could make him long leg braces that would lock at the knee so he could walk , BUT since the pain when he stands is so severe he would never use them and and that if they went to some of the other practioners in town they would probably make him the braces ( As the cost is 4 thousand or so ) but that they would sit in his closet. It was one of the hardest things I had to do , as normally I can do something for people to allow them to function again. The point is I told them how forunate he was to have had 55 years being fully active when most dont and that if could see it and try to be gratful for that it would help him come to turms with where he was at. They were very thankful for my honesty. As it turns out once he couldnt walk saftly anymore he started to to some kinda tape ministery which has really taken off for him. I dont know if Im getting through to you what I want to . I think your statement that we all need to appreciate each day, and the people in our lives as we never know what the future holds is very true and I hope this story related somewhat to what you were wsaying. Best wishes Ramon
I am sorry for your loss, and I will pray for you today..people are nuts anymore, you have to be soooo careful. Take care, and I am sending the big hug vibe you way today!! Kimberly


PM, I am so very sorry for you loss and for all the lives affected by this act of senseless violence. We never think it will happen to us, and when it does, it is very hard to accept and impossibel to understand. My heart goes out to you and your family and to the families of the muderers.

I will keep you all in my prayers. : )
