What made you sad today...

JakeTulane · 12-08-2010, 11:36 AM

Talking to My friend Christie and finding out that her Grandmother passed away yesterday. .. and it just weighs so heavily given she just lost her Mom unexpectedly two weeks ago. Sometimes, I just do not understand the why of it all.

Learning that Aretha Franklin has pancreatic cancer.

My own illness.

Rosie's family.

Finding a dead songbird in the backyard. I buried it. It was beautiful.

my favorite little kitty has gone missing. he must have scooted out a door when someone was coming or going. it's supposed to be 19 degrees tonight. i'm so worried about him and my poor heart is breaking.

Very sad about Aretha. That's the same ugly stuff that killed my Mom.

(((((fiercegrrl))))) I hope your baby comes home. Sending protection and warmth to your baby and peace to you tonight. Perhaps someone will do for him what I did for the little kitty that came my way over the weekend - a little food and shelter for a couple of very cold nights & days.

she was the last one of 2010

A rookie Arlington police officer responding to a domestic violence

she was the first one of 2011

Deputy shot and killed, officer wounded...

St. Michael's Prayer for Police Officers

Saint Michael, heaven's glorious commissioner of police,
who once so neatly and successfully cleared God's premises of all its undesirables,
look with kindly and professional eyes on your earthly force.

Give us cool heads, stout hearts, and uncanny flair for investigation and wise judgment.

Make us the terror of burglars, the friend of children and law-abiding citizens, kind to strangers,
polite to bores, strict with law-breakers and impervious to temptations.

You know, Saint Michael, from your own experiences with the devil, that the police officer's lot on earth is not always a happy one; but your sense of duty that so pleased God,
your hard knocks that so surprised the devil, and your angelic self-control give us inspiration.

And when we lay down our night sticks, enroll us in your heavenly force, where we will be as proud to guard the throne of God as we have been to guard the city of all the people.

Amen.

this was actually yesterday.

what made me sad, saying good-bye for my family. I told them it was more of a "see ya later" vs. good-bye's. I hate good-bye's
