I THINK IF I JOIN ANOTHER GROUP THAT THERE WONT BE MANY LEFT THAT IM NOT IN.SIX MONTHS AGO ONE OF MY FOSTER CHILDREN SHOOT HIMSELF.IT WAS BIG NEWS.IN ALL THE PAPERS.BEFORE SHOOTING HIMSELF HE SHOOT A POLICE OFFICER.THERE IS NOT A DAY THAT GOES BY I DONT MISS HIM.I DONT CONDONE WHAT HE DID.NOONE DESEVED TO DIE THAT DAY.HE HAD MAJOR PROBLEMS IN HIS LIFE.I KNEW THAT.BUT THE PERSON I KNEW WAS CARING AND LOVABLE. I GOT TO KNOW HIS MOTHER WHILE HE WAS IN MY CARE.A LONELY LADY.SHE JUST HAD TO MUCH ON HER PLATE WITH A ABUSIVE HUSBAND.THE REASON HE SHOT HIMSELF WAS BECAUSE HE DID NOT WANT TO GO BACK TO PRISON.A PRISON FUNERAL.THERE WAS SO MANY PEOPLE.AND SO MANY TEARS.I WILL ALWAYS MISS HIM .HE WILL ALWAYS LIVE IN MY HEART.I WAS AMAZED AT THE RESPECT HE HAD AND THE AMOUNT OF FRIEND HE MADE IN HIS SHORT TIME IN THIS WORLD.I COULD SEE THE GOOD IN HIM.I NOW JUST THINK OF HIS SILLY REMARKS AND HIS WONDERFUL SMILE.AND THE WAY HE ALWAYS GOT MY SON WHEN HE RANG TO SEND ME HIS LOVE.FOR THE SHORT TIME HE WAS ON THIS EARTH I WAS BLESS TO HAVE HIM BE IN MY LIFE.AS I WALKED OUT OF THE FUNERAL I WALKED UP TO HIS MOTHER AND GAVE HER A BIG HUG. SHE SAID THANKS FOR COMING. I SAID HE WAS WORTH IT.LIFE IS A SCHOOL, AND WE ARE HERE TO LEARN. PROBLEMS ARE LESSONS THAT COME AND GO; WHAT WE LEARN FROM THEM WILL SERVE US FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES.I WILL ALWAYS MISS AND LOVE CRAIG. NOONE CAN EVER TAKE THAT FROM ME.NO MATTER WHAT HE DID.THEY DID NOT KNOW HIM.THANK YOU CRAIG FOR THE TIME WE HAD.EVEN THOUGH WHAT HE DID WAS WRONG. FEAR DOES TERRIBLE THINGS.AS TIME PASSES THE HURT DOES EASE BUT THE LOVE WILL ALWAYS REMAIN.
