It;s time for you to get over the lose of you husband he was a criminal as is anyone else who runs from the law, it seems like you just want people to feel sorry for you well I don’t. Also it’s time you took care of your own child and quit letting your elderly grandparents do it. You gave birth to her, they are at the age they need to be enjoying what time they have left. Yes I live in the same community that you do so I know all about who you really are and not just some lonesome dove. Thanks had to vent.
“Willie”- some things you don’t know:
there is very little I can’t track down on the internet regarding identity.
I’ve made close friends in law enforcement since Rick’s death. They’ve seen what’s “not quite right” about the WFPD’s account of the pursuit. They’re somewhat watchful/protective of me because they fully understand what and who I’m up against.
The things I can’t track down on the internet, they can. And do, if I ask them.
My grandparents fully support my battle for accountability because they believe what happened was and is wrong. They fear for my safety, but they understand I’m exactly who they raised me to be. I’m very proud of that – and so are they.
Rick’s funeral – someone responded with “We can’t go to that!!! Haven’t you been reading what they’re saying in the newspaper?!!!!!!” when they were asked if they would attend.
I could give a damn less what their opinions were or are. I had rather anyone with so little respect and decency not attend my husband’s funeral.
But it broke my grandmother’s heart. She would have never spoken to this person again had I not insisted she let it go. Very few of her people are still alive or nearby and I won’t allow her to sever the relationship over and with someone who didn’t even know Rick.
I will never tell my grandma about the comment you left here last night. She doesn’t deserve to have her heart broken again because of your ignorance.
I will ask that you not return to 2withspirit. You are not welcome here.
one more thing, be careful of those glass walls you’re living in. There but for the grace of God…..
OMG, I cant believe “willie” thinks he has the right to say “its time to get over the lose of your husband” (by the way willie, its loss) How dare he? Cat, you are one of the strongest people I “know” You think you arent, but you are. Because I bet you have to deal with stuff like that everyday. The nerve of people who think they know everything. Willie, get lost, NO ONE wants to hear your snide, ignorant comments.
What a mean…thing to say. How can anyone else know how long it takes one to get over such a senseless… unjust tragedy. The effects of which will tumble into generations to come. Willie… do you really know what its like… the void. The broken-ness.The tears… Words of kindness always triumph over words of opinion. I pray that you not suffer such pain… However…”Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” ~Galations 6:7~
“They say that time…is a healer… and it can wipe away the tears from your eyes, But they don’t tell you…’bout this empty feelin’…. And my heart… it can’t disguise it.” ~Still In Love With You” ~Thin Lizzy”
Oh Mr. Cantrell…. you are so right.
Cat, not that you need anyone telling you (you have an accurate compass)…. but just keep being the person you are. True to yourself.
Time doesn’t really heal all wounds. It just makes you not give a shit. Maybe you write because you still give a shit. Keep at it as long as you need to.
