My hearts breaking . . .
I know I'm obsessing.
I've been told this, but I can't stop thinking about it. My friends son was found dead this week after he had disappeared a week ago. I helped a little handing out flyers and talking to people and businesses, but not nearly as much as I should have and wanted to. In the end it seems futile, because he was already dead. Found the day before mothers day. How can a mother go on . . .Except to see that the bastards who did this rot in hell and prison, each in their turn.
He was a teenager, who like all teenagers made some foolish choices. But unfortunately he didn't get to learn from his mistakes and his mother will have to find a way to hold her mind, body and spirit together. My heart breaks for her, the hope we all held that he'd just gotten mad and ran away trying to scare her. I hoped we find him and she could reunite, cry and get good and mad at all he'd put her and everyone threw. But it couldn't be that simple, I don't think anyone ever really thought it was, we just hoped.
In some ways I'm mad at the media for its bias news coverage. If it had been a female of any age every one with a TV with in a 350 mile radius of the city would have heard about it. People would have come out in droves to search and handed out filers, and immediately we would have feared the worst, still hoping for the best. But as it was there were only a few short stories on it, most of which were on his death rather than the original search. Only his death seemed to make it really news worthy.
Then I feel angry at the sheriffs. His body was found by volunteers and family, 200ish yards from his car, 5 days after the discovery of the car. I'm sorry, maybe I'm stupid and uninformed but it just seems ridiculous to me. I assumed that in would be common sense that when you have someone missing and you find their car you would look over the immediate vicinity (including fields next to it) for any clues . . . Like a body! The hell she went threw when he was probably there all along. A fucking week.
Anyways, its another senseless death in a cruel and heartless world. Or at least that's how it feels today. Another family left to pick up the pieces of their broken hearts and lives. God bless you%2
