Assumptions
An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true. Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions. This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More

Hi Tammy,
Thanks for touching base. We are currently in the process. The arraignment is tentatively scheduled for Aug 16 but it might get moved back because of a scheduling conflict for prosecutor. It has been a long row to hoe and we are only maybe in the beginning of the middle of "what happened". The preliminary hearing was an out of body type experience. It felt surreal, I had to just sit there and take it while people quoted the murderer as saying my dad was stinky old fossil that nobody would miss. Tears...
What about you? Has the drunk driver been prosecuted? Are they sorry at all? How are you guys holding each other up? It is wonderful you know your purpose already, we're still feeling our way around how to honor my dad. Well, I mean except for the part where we would not let this case fade from public accountability. Thank you for sharing the scripture with others. It is hard for me to do right now because that makes me feel Daddy's loss very deeply. He was a true "red letter" Christian, if Jesus said it, he did it. One of the most hurtful things someone close to me on my mom's side of the family said was that he was a lost soul, intimating that he was not a believer. I know for a fact that wasn't true but it hurts any way, that someone could think that. I hope you and your beautiful family are safe and staying cool in this heat wave. We have shade, ice and a fan and tonight the worst is supposed to be over for 4 or 5 days at least. Thank goodness. Peace, Ruth
Hello Tammy,
First let me say how sorry we are you lost Deante and now need to belong here. It is a club with the costliest membership in the world. Thank you for posting the beautiful pictures. I feel instantly connected because I see your granddaughter, her mother and your son. It's so bittersweet to look, isn't it? We don't have many pictures of my Daddy that we lost to murder 3 1/2+ yrs ago. It is wonderful you are honoring your son's life with this foundation you have started. I know it will make a difference in your life and the lives of others. Blessings to you and yours, Ruth
