I Am Mourning

On Tuesday two of my favorite people died. It did not have to happen.

On Tuesday, a man I had a lot of respect for shot and killed his wife of less than three years in their bedroom as he watched their wedding video. His wife has been a friend of my family since we moved to this gloomy place about five years ago.

He later took the same gun that he shot her twice with and killed himself.

They were divorcing. She said he was mentally cruel. He would sneak and do drugs. He would not work. He could get his mind around that fact that America has no love for former felons.

Join the church, believe in God and we still consider you to be a criminal. Yet she at one time perhaps out of loneliness perhaps out of desire fell in love with him.


They married and they appeared to be happy on the outside.

No physical violence until Tuesday.

My heart won't stop crying.

My mind won't stop trying to understand why oh why?

Funerals on Monday and Thursday.

People are taking sides

My heart won't stop crying.
