Today I had a 2 hour car ride to Waldeck, Texas and a 2 hour ride back which gave me a lot of time to think about some things on my mind the past year and this past week. So I end this day being MAD and not just for 1 thing but a couple of things.
It was a year ago Sunday June 19,2010 that we placed a cross at the crash site of my daughter wreck and released yellow balloons in her memory which was on a Saturday and come Monday morning someone had taken it down. Yes we did have permission from the state to put it up however the owner of the strip center Deerbrook Crossing said we were not allowed and everything we have put up they take down even the poster we made and flowers on the 23 April the anniversary of her death this year you can see pictures that we took the day of. How dare they we went through the right channels got the approval from the state and TX-Doc even came out and marked where we were to put it. We were told the state owned the land so many feet from the curb however we don’t have the support from the courts to make them let us keep up the cross. I just don’t get it; I see crosses everywhere.
The next thing that has upset me is what happened this week to Larry poor cousin David when he was found in his backyard around 11am. He had already passed and once the police and EMT declared him as deceased it took the Harris County coroner’s office until 5:30pm to get there to pick up the poor man. He had to lay out side in this horrible heat all that time. We were told Harris County only had 3 vehicles to pick up. Are you kidding me as big as Harris County is and as many murders that happen not to mention the elderly dying, auto accidents and my goodness who know what else. To me this is just plain crazy!! What do our taxes pay for? His poor sister and kids had to sit there all that time with him just lying there how cruel and hard that had to be. It was hard enough just for us to see Melissa car and the tree much less what they had to do. And where do we go to voice our feeling and try and get something done. Guess what! No one seems to know because I keep getting the run around when I make calls to find out.
Respect I realize I am getting older and there is a new generation out there and yes I have a son in the new generation but I pray I have raised him to have respect and manners and do the following: cell phones should be off in a church or funeral home, not talking when a minster is talking during a service, attend a funeral for your family members and true friends (now if you can’t get off work understand) but just to not show up or be late and act like it is no big deal. Or to bring small children and let them be rude and disrespectful. I understand death is not easy however if you’re an adult and for family member you need to suck it up pray for God to give you what you need to get through it and attend your loved ones funeral and be on time. OH and not to mention other family members putting things on other family members graves after being told not to, I was crushed when I seen my father n law’s grave site today. If this upsets my family I am sorry but I have to say I am just appalled that these things have happen and I am just supposed to be ok with it. Well I am not and I have to get this off my heart.
I realize that me venting on this blog right now will not do anything to change what has happen on any of the above but hopefully it will open some eyes.
