i lost my best friend to Domestic Violence... my tribute to her
I posted this performance of a piece entitled 'i got flowers today'
as a tribute to a beautiful woman, mother and friend...Cassandra
Betts....
some of you may have heard the story as it made national
news... she was shot in the head by her on-again-off again
boyfriend because he wanted her to have an abortion...yes she was
pregnant with his child... he murdered her days before christmas
with her 7 yr old daughter sitting in the back seat.....!!!!
monstorous!!!!
one of the things she would call me and say is..'i got
flowers today.... he's trying to make up..."
if i could say one thing to all of the people currently
involved in a situation like hers..... please PLEASE
PLEASE...LEAVE...YOUR LIFE ISNT WORTH IT....and THEY ARENT SORRY
NOR WILL THEY CHANGE...
we are now in the 7th year since her passing.. she was to be
my sons Godmother... he was born 3 days after her murder.... on
Christmas Eve.. this year... 7,7, 7, play a signifigant role in her
storty .... as 3x7=21... thats all her murderer boyfriend has to
serve for taking two lives and leaving her now 14yr old daughter
motherless....
please remember Victims of Domestic Violence every day... and
remember ... getting flowers today can lead to death....
i love you and miss you
Cassie...!http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-44578/!!
