I have blogged about my dad in the past but for those who missed it. My dad was a police officer killed in the line of duty. The reason I am writing this blog is...the man who killed him and another officer is up for parole again. On a 20 year sentence hes eligible after 4. How sad is that. This is the 2nd year we have had to oppose his parole. Our families should not be made to suffer and relive this. If you would like to help our families, there is a way to help. Click here! The inmate name is Brian Nelson. His SCDC # is 00292367. I know this isnt the easiest way to do it but I figured it could reach a lot of people. We need all the signatures we can get! So send to your friends, family, whoever you think would sign
For those of you who would like to read, I havent shared this with many, my dad, You can read the story. My family and I have missed out on so much with my dad. I hurt because I think that my kids never got to know their pop pop. They tell the stars at night, hi pop pop...i love you, pop pop..Its not fair that they missed out on how wonderful he is. I missed him walking me down the aisle, I missed him at the birth of my kids..Its not fair to hurt this much, and for the man who killed him to be free to roam the streets. This was not his first accident either, this was like his 5th. YES! a repeat offender..and nothing was ever done. They say time heals all wounds. So far this is the 5th year coming and it hasnt healed yet.
I got a mailing from the COPS organization (concerns of police survivors) and it listed my dad and gene (other officer) 5 year rememberance. And I broke down all over again.
Sorry this blog isnt about dieting or weight loss. But its a concern of mine...(((hugs to all))) and thank you in advance.

Im so sorry

I am so sorry about your dad. My dad was also in law enforcement for years. He was killed in a car accident 9 years ago Monday. By a Dept of Transportation worker of all people. Not paying attention and ran a stop sign and plowed into my dad.
My heart goes out to you and yor family.
Im sorry but I was a little confused, was he trying to get high on seizure medication? My son is epileptic and most of the medications I know of don't have that effect.
This site isn't just for weight loss, it's for support of any kind, venting or whining. I sure hope the guy doesn't get out of jail. I went through what you are now when the guy that broke into my house and choked me half to death and threatened to kill my 2 yr old daughter was trying to get out on parole. Thankfully he had to serve his entire sentence. Never give up on trying to keep him where he belongs!
What a difficult thing to deal with! Having to feel the pressure of responding to the parole thing and that if you don't do something, he will get out so early. I wish your dad were here and that this whole thing was a bad dream!
