So much on my mind
A girl I went to elementary school with was murdered last Tuesday. She had turned 21 on Monday. Her ex-boyfriend stabbed her 28 times and shot her 4 times. It makes me sad. I hadn't seen her in years -- since the moved away to Colorado. But when I heard the name I immediately remembered who she was.
Then two nights ago a 19-year-old robbed a convenience store and murdered two people. He was just arrested. I went to school with his oldest brother my entire life. We were in the same kindergarten class and we graduated high school together. I remember when the oldest brother played pee-wee football for my dad. We were in fourth grade. His dad was the assistant coach and brought the two youngest boys with him. They would walk me to my dad when I got out of practice and I'd watch the two little boys. The robber was one of them.
I need some happiness in my life. So much is going wrong. There are highlights the last couple weeks but I'm tired of looking at the news and realizing there's nothing I can do about it...
