I fully understand, and would gladly accompany you to start her death process. She is pure evil, and although lethal injection is NOT humane, she deserves it. It is by far more humane than she afforded Travis.
You spoke of being proud to have been those kids Mom, I would be proud to call them my siblings, as I wasn't blessed with any. They deserved so much more. My heart breaks for them. So, like it or not, that would make you my Momma too.
Cheer up, she will pay. Sweet dreams, and tomorrow will be brighter.
TY so much for that
I know I get tired of hearing clichés whenever someone dies, or there is a tragedy, things such as 'God allows this all for a greater purpose..." and sometimes I shake my head at that stuff.
But today, it clearly dawned on me, that for the ultimate horror that Travis experienced, his gifts are far greater than even he could imagined.
I made the comment here before that I think some of us would have heard of Travis Alexander in our lifetimes even without his murder. He seemed to have such a gift, and I think great things were in store for him. We may have heard him as a motivational speaker or even more.
But in his horrific death, Travis has changed people. And in ways that will never leave them. Total strangers who may not have had the pleasure of ever meeting him are now purposely doing things and taking actions for good.
Travis has now reached thousands upon thousands of people, strangers. He introduced us to his brothers and sisters and we are inspired by them. We know how Travis felt about life, and some of us are actively remembering his words as we live our days, one at a time.
Travis has given us so much goodness. It's straightened out some thinking for some of us, made us see things in a different way, ferreting out what's important and what's not. Made some of us dig deeper into ourselves than we have before to stand up for what our soul knows is right.
I won't say that God allowed this to happen to Travis so that all of this could happen after his death, but God or the Universal Power or Higher Power has allowed Travis, the real Travis to put his mark on us. And I'm thankful for that.
We all watch the strength of the Alexander family deal with the unspeakable horror of the killing and the evil trashing that has gone on in the courtroom. To be like them is what I aspire to. Travis loved life and embraced it. They are dealing with this with such dignity and grace and respect.
Travis was just a young man. But he has certainly left his footprint in this world. Reaching far more people than he ever imagined he would. I'm sorry I never knew him. I really, really like the small part of him that I've been lucky enough to learn about.
