Yesterday, I was sitting at work and Dustin
walked in. I was working and talking to him for a minute and he asked,
"TT did someone die in this house and lots of blood"
I was taken aback and said, "Um no why?"
He replied he wanted to know cause of the rumors. I asked what rumors and he was like, "The ones that they were talking about."
I was so confused so we talked for a bit and I told him no, nobody had died in our home. As I said that I realized he was asking because Jana had been looking at a home before she looked at this one and someone had been murdered in that home in Riverton. Right when I realized that and as I was about to tell him he said, "Someone died in my house".
Sick. Literally, I wanted to puke, my stomach dropped and tears came to my eyes.
I was still working and it took me back. I know it was only seconds but it felt like hours as I thought about how I was going to respong to that. When I got my composure I replied, "You are right Roo and I loved that person very much! I love your dad."
Breaks. My. Heart!
I can see the pain in his face. I feel the pain in my heart and know his is 10 times worse.
I have been sad and a bit gloomy ever since. These kids are too little to be facing the pain that comes from death of a parent, especially due to suicide.
