It is only with the distance of time, the wisdom of experience, etc... that we look back and realize how terribly extreme the option really was, how much it really would have cost. Far too many young people don't realize that things seem so unbearable can and do get better - not to make light of them, only that some options are extremely expensive.<br /><br />hugsrandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16659230610436922709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458786710697760224.post-48724387077004942242013-10-28T13:41:39.962-07:002013-10-28T13:41:39.962-07:00Hello Randy, my wonderful brother. I am so glad y...Hello Randy, my wonderful brother. I am so glad you never hurt your self. My world and the world of so many others are enriched by your being here. <br /><br />Thank you also for the warning, as we talked about over the email, I feel horrible about your abuse, but realize i simply couldn't have stopped it. <br /><br />I also took my stepfather's gun down, and attempted to kill one of my abusers. I was lucky, at the very last second as I started to pull the trigger, something inside me happened. I still don't know what to this day, but I think it was a powerful protective force, some people call them angels, I remember so much about that day, it was a 30-30 rifle, I took it down, out of the soft case, and opened the drawer with the bullets, I loaded it, pulling the bolt back and locking it. I had it aimed as I was taught, carefully on target I held my breath and gently pulled back on the trigger...<br /><br />And remember some time later waking up...with the gun in my lap. Still loaded and still with my finger in the Trigger guard . <br /><br />At the time I had different religions fighting for me and my support, but in truth I never knew and still don't, what happened. I just know I got up, I safely unloaded the weapon, put the bullets back in the little holes in the package they came from, and cleaned the gun. I also never touched it again after I put it back.<br /><br />I have no explanation for what happened. I know how I felt and what I had planned to do, but I also know it did not happen. <br /><br />I am tired, but I wanted to tell you I am tired of our gun violence in this country, and my own story. Mostly I wanted you to know how much you mean to me and how grateful I am your still here.

No... well, sort of. Like my "hi...Hi Nikki;<br /> No... well, sort of. Like my "history" indicated, kids will often find the guns that Mommy and Daddy "hide". The Bachmans and republicans and nra type people who are so strong about the freedom and even proliferation of guns, they are so very against the restriction for any reason. We just had another school shooting, where a middle schooler - so age 11 - 13 or so - brought a gun to school. He shot two kids and killed a teacher who tried to stop him before killing himself. <br /> So, the picture is sarcasm, but like all sarcasm, has a fair amount of truth behind it.<br />hugs<br />r<br />randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16659230610436922709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458786710697760224.post-83320786587822231702013-10-27T00:05:52.036-07:002013-10-27T00:05:52.036-07:00Guten Morgen Randy (at us tonight the summer time ...Guten Morgen Randy (at us tonight the summer time was reset),<br />to the image with the "toddler":<br />So this is the attitude of "Bachmann Christians" - the Republicans<br />"Arming the toddler!!!"<br />Hooray USA<br />Einen schönen Sonntag wünscht Dir NikkiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
