Official Summer Pic
I know I haven't blogged forever. The kids are in Maine. The girls attended the funeral of one of their best friends. She was brutally murdered last weekend and the funeral was yesterday. A man was arrested for the murder and he is now in protective custody. As he should be. I have known this little girl a long time and I definitely think some street retribution is the way to go. There isn't enough fire in hell for this bastard. The last time I talked with her was a few months ago and she was excited to get a place with my daughter. Her mom was happy because she always felt Kayla was a good influence on her and I was happy because I felt like Holly would take care of Kayla and look out for her. Holly was always a little more street smart. I am still in shock over the whole thing and probably will be for a long time. Maybe in a few weeks I can write a nice tribute along with pics for her on the blog. Right now, I am having a hard time even looking at pictures of her.
Personal friends of mine that spent any time at my house will remember Holly as she spent a lot of time there herself. She will always be remembered as Kayla's best friend, Hayley's sister she never had and Zach's first crush.
I did not attend the funeral. Holly is in my heart and I didn't feel like I needed to engage in the drama that I am sure was her funeral. I'm sure a lot of her "friends" were there. I felt like I was not able to give her mom the support she would need and am feeling a lot of blame towards her right now. Nobody needs that at their daughter's funeral and I am sure the guilt she will feel the rest of her life has nothing on me. The girls' dad went with them to support them as they are our main concern right now. They are both pretty devastated. Hayley is spending some time today with Holly's mom and sister.

A WHOLE MONTH!!!
Crazy that I haven't blogged at all for a month. Wish I could say I was terribly busy. We have been a little busy with road trips and such but other than that, we've just been trying to beat the heat and I've been trying to enjoy the summer.
