Today started as a great day. I had bought some lamb from this new butcher and I had finished quilting the babies blanket. I made the blanket jungle green with little giraffes, hippos, monkeys and elephants on the border of the blanket. It is perfect for the little boy or girl I am expecting. But that all went downhill quickly after I came back from the grocery to find my husband dead on the floor. It was a horrid sight for any loving wife to see. There was no blood it almost looked like he had fainted and was unconscious on the floor. The only reason I knew he was dead was the fact that you could not hear or see him breath and the nasty dent on the back of his skull where he was hit over the head with what the police suspect to be a sledge

    After an hour of waiting the backup arrived and quickly traced the body with white chalk. The next step was to surround the scene with yellow tape so that the civilians can stay away from the scene. As the other deputies on duty tried to get statements from people I heard a young lady yell “that is Myrtle Wilson” I looked around to try and seek the identifier of the body, but failed. All that was known so far was that she was married, young, and dead. I kept asking myself “where could her husband be and why is someone this young dead on the roadway”.…

    I was afraid to pick Doodle up. My hand wrapped around his body and my other hand wrapped around his head, holding him up. The blood started to drip out of his mouth and onto my shirt and stained it. He was so heavy, I didn't want to drop him because he was so fragile. I stopped every couple of minute to fix him because he would start to slide down and my arms were so weak and tired.…

    The morning of Saturday November 1st, 2014, I woke up to three hundred text messages and twitter notifications all notifying me that my friend, Dominik Pettey, was killed in a car crash by a drunk driver the previous night. No pain had ever felt so significant, it was crippling, but then instead of pain, I was numbed by the inability to grasp that my friend someone who I just had seen the night before, was gone. I ran the words “Dom is dead” through my head on a loop but could not bring myself to accept it. That week, although I was still here, facing such a tragedy, everything on earth seemed so insignificant, going to class, homework, midterms, everything. I woke up every morning wishing it was just in a bad dream and that noise would never cease because that is when it hit me the most, silence, when I didn't hear Dom’s infectious laugh or when he wasn't telling me that, “I am Kiera Wainer and deserve the best God can give”, which he used to say anytime I was upset, the first time he said those words was the second worst day of my entire life, it was the day my dad left for his new family.…
