This Is Just NOT A Good Day

This photo was taken just before my son-in-law passed away in a horrible car crash. He had just gotten his degree to enable him to become an athletic trainer. His dream. All while working full time and doing his part to help at home as well.

He was a wonderful husband and an awesome father..........I couldn't believe how involved he was. He was crazy about being a dad.

He passed away nine years ago today.......Many of the days have been really tough for my girl, but the anniversary is always really hard for her.

My grandson is nearly twelve now. She bears the pain of the loss for herself, but so much more for her boy.

And then.........

This is what she woke up to this morning.

Why, why why?

Why would someone think that damaging the property of someone else is fun?

I just do not, and never have, understood vandalism.

Why weren't these kids at home?

Where were their parents?

What has happened to personal responsibility and values?

My daughter is a single mom........going to school full time and doing her best to get by financially.

Now she'll have to pay the $300 deductible to get her car repaired.

I'm furious today.

Not my normal cheery post.

I. am. not. feeling. cheery. today.

By the way........this is her new car. She got rid of her old one after she was in TWO accidents......neither one was her fault. And, she's already been hit in this car too.

Feeling really crabby today...... and grieving for Mike..... and feeling the pain of the loss for my girl and my little fella.
