A really bad ending to a Valentines Day gone bad.

 

My Niece Sherry came by last night , she is a deputy. Right time she came in, she got a call. Gunshot to the head, victim still alive,but bleeding heavily. Duh! She had to respond. When she got to the scene, the guy & his wife had been having marriage problems & this is how he ended it. To me, shooting yourself is the cowards way out. All my niece could do is wait for paramedics to come,,,she had to stand there , with the guys family & watch him die. It takes the body awhile to stop even if the person is dead.I cant imagine watching this.

 If life was this bad for me I think I would just had got a divorce, not kill myself. I love myself way too much to hurt me. Stuff like rings, roses, & all that is nice but it isnt worth my or my hubbys life. From what I understood, this couple was argueing because the guy didnt get his wife anything for Valentines Day & she was b**ching at him.  Now he is gone & she is left to deal with what she said to him.

I couldnt do my Niece's job. I'm not made for Law Enforcement.Sherry has to go to numerous call's all night & deal with all kind of crap. This morning she couldn't sleep so she called me & we talked. She was telling me she tried to talk to her hubby about everything that she had to deal with last night & he told her he didn't want to hear about her job. Thats sad. She is helping our community & sometimes she talks runaways into coming back home or helps kids who are having problems.

We talked awhile & Sherry told me thanks for being there for her. She is my family & I will always be here for her. Material things aren't worth a life. I would much rather had a Happy Valentine's Day said to me with a hug than a rock on my finger , or candy ... Before I go to sleep at night I always touch my hubby on his back & thats where my hand stays for awhile.  My hubby may be grumpy but he is My Grumpy & I wouldn't take nothing for him.

A really bad ending to a Valentines Day gone bad.

Hi Melody

Your right. I honestly dont think I could kill myself. Day to day life couldnt get that bad. I have lost my Father, Mother & Brother in the past few years, I handled it as well as I could. If I lost a child, well, then my mental status could change. My Niece's hubby hates the career my niece has. She has to deal with male officers & that makes hubby jealous. But, he should be there for her to talk with. I dont think I could sleep after all the violence she deals with. Last night , by herself, she took down a Meth lab. She has balls. She does her job & she does it well.
