I’m having one of those days where nothing is good. I can’t get my dad out of my mind. The donations have slowed to a halt in our collection for his reward money, my family isn’t backing me up like I thought they would and my mother is severely depressed about it all. She’s a thousand miles away with my youngest brother. Things are hard on them. Their relationship strained.
I’m up here trying to do all I can to keep the normalcy in my own life. I’ve worked very hard to start over, to build a new life and to be happy since I moved here in 2011. After dad was murdered, trying to be the peace keeper, the pillar of strength and trying to figure out how to up the reward money is proving to be quite difficult especially from afar. I believe I can achieve the goals in finding dad’s killers from here. I just need my friends and family to back me up and most of them have and I love them for it. It’s just not as easy as I thought it would be to raise $10,000.
I have a Spartan Race on Saturday in Milwaukee that I’m so excited about. However, I let my (for some reason depressing) 29th birthday, the cold weather and the fact that I’m under 10% to my goal affect my mood. I’m not proud of that. Well I’m proud of the $930 I raised but not that I’m slacking on my self progress. I’ll get out of it. Soon. I hope.
But here is the link again to dad’s donation page. There are links to news reports on his murder as well as a little story I wrote to back up the reports. Pass along. Help me out! thanks!
