We all stand before God one day and take account for our actions and lack thereof. The justice system was intended to protect and serve, and I tell my grandkids that there are two justices, one on earth and one in heaven. So just know that whatever is seen or heard here is seen and heard there as well.
And each person in uniform will stand on this side of the podium answering to a much higher calling one day.
Now he's written Denzel and Serenity on the holidays. He'll send them like something and he'll like draw them a picture. Serenity throws it away and doesn't read it. She's like, I don't want to have anything to do with him. And Denzel reads his.
You know, I kind of just tell the kids they're entitled to their opinions. I don't think Denzel quite gets what happened to him yet. I think it's going to take till he's older. And I think it's going to be waves of like, oh, my gosh, my dad actually sent me in there. I don't think he gets it right now. I mean, yeah. So hard to grasp. Yeah.
So we kind of just like instead of like, we don't really bring it up much. It's kind of just when we found out about the sentencing, we told the kids and Denzel's like, well, I'm happy because my dad will be back out. And he's like, people should get second chances. I said, you don't get a second chance at killing people. Like, I'm very blunt about it. Right.
And then Serenity is like, well, she's pissed. She's like total opposite. She's my feisty little fireball. She's like, oh no, this is unacceptable. So she's very mad. So I tried to tell them, I was like, because we have a difference of opinion in our house, because he asked me how I felt and I told him, I said, do you really want to know? And he said, yeah. And I was like, I'm mad.
I was like, mommy's gone forever. Daddy should not get to be out in this world, just walking around. And so I did kind of like, I told him the honest truth, but I also just said in our home, we have to respect each other and what we feel. And if you're at a family function, cause my family's ticked, you know, like everybody's ticked. Our families are not okay with this, but I said,
I told everybody don't talk about it around the kids. And if they do, the kids can walk in any room and say, can we please change the subject? Cause it makes me uncomfortable giving them a way out because it's just so much for them to process.
Like we thought we were going to get, we put so much in it and it was, And it's so sad because it was like we put so much in it and it was like no community support. So we just redesigned it. And I now send out comfort packages to kids that lose parents. So our packages from home have like a teddy bear and a blanket and a grief book and coloring pencils and then a handwritten card.
And then we wrap it all in gold because that was April's favorite color. And we put a gold dragonfly on it.
and we just are sending those out for free to kids that lose a parent so um let's be happy and we've we've already sent we've already have kids that are signing up and i haven't even really posted about it yet because i wanted to have supplies i don't want to like have a bunch of kids sign up and then i don't have supplies um but it still lets us keep the non-profit open and we just feel like maybe god just had us do it in a different way
I mean, it's, it's sad because we like the kids and me liked the grief center, but to spend that much money a month, it was like a little over 3000 a month with all the bills and to spend that. And then I'd have to go and sit there and nobody was coming in and we were just like,
is this really beneficial for us as a family or if the community is not using it then it's not a need or nobody wants to you know to use it as a need so i was like okay well kids are 850 kids in a day lose a parent in the united states and so that's a need and i don't want any kid to feel like they don't have someone that loves them so i was like this is just our way of
reaching out and just giving them a hug through a box.
