In the arms of the angels…..
Hello dear readers I am sure you wanted another depressing blog from me yesterday but I just couldn’t do it. Witnessing the pain that I was feeling on my loved ones faces was more than I could take. There were also things that took place but out of respect to my loved ones I won’t share them on this blog for they were private items and they will stay private at least on this blog. Again I wanted to be the superhero that could save the day but I was again the wimp that had to walk away when the casket lowered. For every moment I witnessed my own fear, pain, hurt and broken down will came crushing back. From the last flowers and the balloon release that contained eighteen balloons because on March 1st Ricky turned eighteen. As his family said as they released the balloons he is forever 18. One more thing I learned was that Ricky had just signed up for the US Army. Everything was done except him signing the papers which was to be done this Monday. One day after his passing away. To know that Ricky was brave enough and was going to risk his life for our country makes me so proud to call him family. I have taken comfort that Justin now has someone his age and that we have another angel looking over us. I wish that my loved ones have to suffer for that to happen. I also want to be sure to mention my other cousin involved in the accident. My fifteen year old cousin was also in the accident that took Ricky’s life. If it had not been for Brandon there would have been three other deaths. He managed to unbuckle his seatbelt and get out of the car and swim to shore and climbed up the bank and waved down help for his brother and friends. Brandon received several injuries to his arm. Brandon saved not just himself but the two other friends. Brandon has been in and out of surgery a few times with more to come in the next few days. I ask that you continue to pray for him as well as his family. Please pray for not just for him but the entire family as the days, weeks, months ahead will be consumed with grief and loss. I know this pain and hate that ANYONE should feel that kind of pain. Rest in Peace my dear loved one and you are truly amongst the best angels…..
