I just got a call from my mom this morning, screaming and crying. Her best friend, which is her neighbor called her this morning screaming. Her son, who is my age, who I grew up with, was stabbed this morning. He died. We grew up together, he was like a brother to me. Our families are best friends.
He was trying to protect his little sister who is pregnant and he got stabbed over it. How does this happen? How can people sleep at night knowing they took someone's life. He had 2 children! Now his children will never know their father. What has this world come too?
I am in utter shock. Now the family is trying to gather themselves trying to make sense of it all. His poor sister is never going to forgive herself for calling her brother to come get her. He was only 29 years old.
I went to my boss hysterical this morning, and she barely looked like she cared. My neighbor, practically my brother, who I grew up with, is gone. All she said was "wow that sucks"
People are so inhumaine. And the worse part of it all, the guy that did it, is in custody, his life is now over as well. He is going to catch a murder charge. Over what? they barely knew each other. Now 2 peoples lives are over, for nothing. Violence is so not necessary.
(((HUGS)))
There are no words, you are right, it is entirely senseless.
That's awful, I'm so sorry. I never understood senseless violence like that.
I just dont get it. Why do people think violence is the way to settle something. He was just trying to protect his sister and get her out of where she was and these 2 guys thought it would be funny to give him a hard time. His birthday was today.
unbelievable.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I can relate - 2 weeks ago, a close friend from high schools mother and brother were stabbed to death, apparently by their father, who then committed suicide. Apparently the motive was money. I'll never understand the world.
I am so sorry to hear about this horrific act! We send you our deepest sympathies and many, many <<<<HUGS>>>>!
I'm so sorry. This is so sad, and you are right, these incidents are so horrible and just cruel. That is so sweet of him to protect his sister and unborn child, but it should not have to be that way. Someone where I work got stabbed (and killed) for shaking someone else's hand the wrong way. The kid that died was 17 and not a troublemaker, just taking his little cousin to get something to eat.
I hope that you and your family are able to heal and my thoughts go out to his family and children.
that's horrible... like, that almost brought me to tears and i don't even know them. i'm going to be thinking about both families, and you, because honestly i don't even know what to say in a situation like this, but i can offer you my prayers...
@MrsCox - I never understand the violence either. This actually happened to the FI of a woman I cheered with back in the day. He was stabbed leaving her with 2 kids and one on the way. And of course...No one saw what went down, therefore leaving the family without any answers or resolutions.
It's easier said than done but be strong!
thank you very much for all your kind words. The poor family is a wreck. It is so senseless. A part of me hopes the guy gets what he deserves, but what about his family? Its just not fair. Such a crappy situation altogether.
Sorry! Hugs to you for sure! I will never in my life understand violent acts such as this.
I am so sorry for your loss. This was a terrible and senseless act. *HUGS*
I'm sorry for this terrible news for you and your neighbor's family. That is really tragic!
what does violence ever do but hurt people? why do people think its ok to take soemone else's life? What goes through a persons mind when they find out that a little bit of anger and violence, has now taken soemones life. Is it ever worth it? NO! His sister (she is only 20 yrs old!) and pregnant, will have to live the rest of her life, knowing that her brohter died trying to protect her. Her baby will never know its Uncle. Over what?
I wonder what is going through that guys mind as he sits in jail this morning. I wonder if he feels any remorse. I sure hope so. He stabbed Mikey in the heart, did he not think that it would kill him?
I just keep thinking of what was going through Mikey's mind. Did he know that his life was about to be taken. I always wonder what peoples last thoughts are.
He was such a great person. He taught me how to drive. He was always very protective of his family and friends. He just called me last week to say hello and that he missed me (i moved an hr away). And now he is gone. ugh.
I'm so sorry. I wish your boss would have been more understanding of this. We're here for you.
Wow. I am so so sorry. Such a senseless act of violence. Unbelievable, my heart goes to your family as well as his. My thoughts are with you
I'm really sorry for your lose. This is what I deal with as a profession, it never gets easier to see a grieving family. If you have an opportunity, maybe you can look into seeing if you have a local program that helps victims of crime (which the surviving family members are). Sometimes they're affiliated with a district attorney's office. Anyway, they can sometimes help this family receive money for the funeral bill, counseling, and if nothing else, they should be able to let them know what rights they have as victims. If you need help looking into to it, let me know. This is what I do... :(
jennifer- thank you so very much. I am not looking forward to going over there after work. I can only imagine what is feels like for them. Our family was close, but nothing compared to what they are going through. My mom is there now and she said its awful. His sister was holding him when he died. She is a complete wreck. I will def look into what you said for them.
thank you
Wow, that just makes me so sad for them, for you... everyone lost something here. I am so so sorry for your loss and I think maybe it might be good for you to take some personal time if you have it... and go be with your family.
Best wishes to you during this horrible, sad time.
Laboroflove-thank you. I wish I could take some time off but my boss wont let me. He isnt immediate family and she said she cant afford to replace me right now. It makes me so angry that my boss has no compassion, but I guess its best that I stay busy anyway.
Ive never lost anyone close to me. I dont know how I would take it.
MrsCox - I logged in to say that I'm very, very sorry for your and Mikey's family's loss. Mikey sounds like he was a great guy, and you should be proud to have known him and his kindness. My deepest sympathies.
thank you all so very much for your kind words. Means a lot. Its nice to know that not everyone is so cold and heartless. The world can be an awful place. Thank Goodness God put people like you kind ladies on here.
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. It's never easy to lose anyone, family or not, and I'm keeping you, your family and his family in my prayers.
*HUGS* I am SO sorry to hear about your friend. I agree - some people can be so insensitive. Often times friends make up our family..so I am truly sorry to hear about your brother.
I'm so sorry for your loss. His poor sister... I can't imagine. This sick, sad world needs more heros like him.
I'm so sorry. I completely understand how you feel. A good friend from school's twin brother was stabbed a few years ago. He got on the wrong side of a bad drug deal. He was stabbed and left in a ditch to bleed to death.
I agree that violence is horrible and unnecessary.
(((HUGS))) I'm so very sorry to hear of your loss. <3
Despicable. I'm so very sorry for your loss.
