    • About Me

      I lived in CA most of my life until the incident and then I couldn't afford to stay in that house. I moved here to be with my middle daughter, Viki.

      Type: Loss of a Child

      In June of 2006 my family was attacked in our sleep. My youngest daughter (Sammi), grand daughter (Megan) and I eventually recovered but my oldest daughter (Yolanda) died that night from over 20 stab wounds to the chest. Our family has now scattered to other states and I have not seen my grand daughter in months, I hear from her about once a month and my middle daughter (Viki), who was close to my oldest is so depressed that people avoid her because they don't know how to deal with her grief.

      I used to cry all the time, now only sometimes.

    • Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

      On June 16, 2006 a stranger broke into our home and stabbed my family. My oldest daughter died due to her injuries, her teenaged daughter, my youngest daughter and I spent time in the hospital. The woman who did it was caught outside our home and has yet to go to trial. She has been in jail since that night, but her attorney keeps pushing the trial date back. We're hoping to go to trial by the end of this month.
