Even though I haven't been posting, I have noticed that you have not been either. Are you ok. Are you sleeping? I hope all is well, my friend.

I'm sorry I haven't been around. I'm trying to deal with a death in the family. My cousin, in his mid twenties, was shot to death by 2 police officers. My cousin was having serious drug problems & lost his father not long ago. These undercover narcotic agents in street clothes approached him, he tried to run & jump over a fence. One of the officers grabbed him & my cousin was carrying a gun, it fell out of his waistband. Both of them tried to grab the gun, my cousin grabbed it first & pointed it, so the officers shot him in the head & back with their guns. Investigations are going on right now. We aren't sure if the officers identified themselves as officers. My cousin may have thought it was two guys trying to jump him....it's a long story. The strange thing is, these officers said my cousin was facing them & pointing a gun at one of them, but he was shot in the back of the head & his back. Strange. The officers are under investigation right now & suspended from duty.
I'm not saying what my cousin did was right. He should have never had the gun, & was heavily into illegal drugs. I just miss him.
Talk about a shocking experience. I never thought this would be something that would happen in my family. I don't know what my cousin was thinking. I loved him dearly. It's been hard.
Right now I am going through some serious depression & anxiety. I just keep wishing that I will wake up & this was all just a horrible nightmare.
I have my son this week, he is on spring break so I'm trying to "act" as normal as possible. I'm happy to have him, we are doing lots of fun stuff, & its keeping my mind off of other things.
Thanks for thinking about me, I'll check back in a couple of days. I'll be posting more next week.
Hope everyone is doing good!!! Take care!!!

That is just awful. I am so sorry.
When you need to, or have time to, know we are here for you and love you very much. Post, vent, rant, cry, or whatever you need to. We'll listen and support you any way we can.
Hugs and hot chocolate. Hug your kitties and doggies for me, and for you too. But don't give them the hot chocolate, it's bad for them, that's just for you. :-)

I'm so sorry, Jodie. What a horrible thing for your family to have to deal with.
Enjoy your son this week. I find it so therapeutic to be with mine, and nothing gives me a lift like watching his sweet face (especially asleep, there is something just wonderful about a sleeping child.)

What can really be said in a little post? When you are ready, have time, ect. I'm sure we'll hear more.
For now, just know that you are loved here and many prayers, possibly to many different named gods, go out to you, you family and his dear ones.
I agree about "relaxing" with your son. I'm sure he is Happy to be with you now and anytime.
I am truly sorry to hear about this tragedy.
I’m taking the liberty of offering a huge collective group hug for you: (((JODIE)))

Thank you so much, thank you for the support & encouragement.
I do promise I will post more next week. I still have lots of venting to do here. Right now I have different feelings & thoughts all jumbled in my head. It's hard to say too much when I can't keep my mind on just one thought.
My brother & I grew up with my two cousins, the one that just passed away, & his sister. We were all so close. We have lots of happy memories. My cousin that passed away was a couple of years younger than me, and his sister & I are the same age. Her & I are really close. She is not dealing with it well at all. Their father (my uncle) died not long ago, and they didn't really know their mother very well. All of this is so hard for me right now, I can't even begin to imagine what she is feeling. Losing her father & her brother.
Well, I need to go. Thanks for listening. Hugs to all of you, and don't worry I will make sure not to share my hot chocolate with my dogs or kitties. :-)
