When I got up Saturday morning Tim told me he had done some primitive decorating...He told me to look out by my butterfly bush...See his little primitive arrangement with my little old wheel barrel, old watering can, birdhouse, and a part of a shovel? ha!ha! He couldn't care less about primitive decorating, but he knows I love it! I LOVE my Timmy!!! And I will be leaving it just as it is!! :)
Happy Monday afternoon! Lucy Blue is working hard at supervising me as i work...ha! I think she has the right idea on this cloudy afternoon!
Look what was waiting for me in the yard this afternoon!
The house was so quiet last night...Everyone was caught up in their own thoughts....I spent wayyyyyyy too much time on the computer reading comments from the media and Cartersville paper.....For my long time followers, i have shared little Rob with you...For my new followers Little Rob is my nephew...He was shot and killed December 29, 2010....What was called an accident in the beginning took on a life of itself as the case was closed within 24 hrs....The mourning and living without him began....Then received personal affects~found text messages that detectives didn't even look at~autopsy ruled homocide~stories changed~this happened~that happened~ Well, WHAT DID HAPPEN????~~ALL my family has wanted from the beginning is for it to be investigated thoroughly and honestly...Nothing more than any family would want...From the beginning the sherriffs office were defensive, wouldn't return phone calls, wouldn't talk to my brother and sister-in-law....WHY? WHY wouldn't you reach out to the grieving family and answer their questions?....That is why this has gotten this far....Then we found out that the case was never turned over...Kind of like it never existed...My brother was told that Little Rob's was a "political football"...No one wanted to touch it.....Something was going on that day....Wouldn't any parent want to know?
Sometimes i feel like we are watching a movie in the front seat....But, oh no! No movie! Real life!
So, this is where we are 2 yrs and 4 months later....I'm sooooooooo THANKFUL we live away from it and my children aren't surrounded by all the ugliness that is going on...People have opinions and aren't afraid to give it...Really easy when you are talking about someone elses life and not yours....When your heart isn't feeling the loss and pain...
I try not to say anything except behind my closed doors...I pray ALOT for guidance...I struggle...BUT, I'm a mother and with all the feelings that go with that for my children, nieces, nephews....
I'm sorry if anything is mispelled or written wrong in this post...I'm not even going to go back and reread...I do want to share this one last picture of Little Rob that was taken the last day i saw him before Christmas 2010...
His life mattered...He didn't deserve to be treated like he didn't matter....I wouldn't want any other family treated like this when they just want answers!
