One Year Ago Today...(didn't know where else to post this)

I am sorry abou your pain...the tears maybe gone, but the memories of that night, I am sure are still with you....

I can relate, on a certain level...I am not exactly sure how your cousin passed away...but my father when I was 10 was taken away from this earth, in a violent way. So I know how things go...I have dealt with the nightmares of that night for the past 13 years, and it continues to bother me...

So keep strong, your cousin is looking down on you smiling I am sure...


And to add to the family posts, yes it is very strange how one person can hold a huge family together...My mother has 6 bros/sis...and I barely have seen or spoken to them in a very long time...I am closer to my cousins on my mothers side than anyone...

Thank you. When someone dies violently, it's difficult because of all the intense emotion involved. And it's so sudden, I mean no death is anticipated, but murder just seem's so unjust and wrong.

I have nightmares about it as well. My friends and I kinda make up a tight circle, there used to be so many of us, but over the past 6 years we've buried 10. 8 to murder, 2 in an accident (brothers, 18 and 16).

But like you said, you have to continue to live. You wake up, and you remember your loved ones and friends, and what they meant for you, and you keep going.

Very well said!

on a side note, nightmares do ease with time...just remember the good times, rather than the bad...
