RE: Good things come in small packages - Day 340: 5 Minute Freewrite
You depicted her in such a lively way that I soon started feeling such sympathy for the little, strong Julie. When I read of her horrible death my eyes became watery.. I'm so sorry. This world sometimes is simply shit and I understand the feeling of revenge that you still harbor. I would feel the same. It happened years ago with a friend.. we used to do karate training together.. he was always smiley and a happy soul. He's been found belly down in a river..the police did NOTHING. He was an immigrant, maybe that's why.. what sadness my God. I'll pray for Julie, a hug.
Aw, thank you so much! I love it that you see "the little, strong Julie" - and I feel for your friend. Immigrants, low-income people, and anyone judged unorthodox or unimportant just won't get as much attention as victims of a crime. When I became a mother of two daughters and a son, it hit me for the first time how HARD for a parent to lose a child, and in such a terrible way. All the years spent nurturing, teaching, changing diapers, driving to school events, paying bills... to have someone kill and cast aside this person like trash... it's the most heinous of crimes. Even an arrest and imprisonment would make little difference. There's no bringing back the lost loved one. If there's an afterlife, I hope your friend is still smiley and happy (Julie was too!) and they meet in the great beyond.
