My Black Friday

[freeringo]

Didn't Eejit say something about the numerology of 7-8-09, or aug 8th.
Well Friday 7-8-9 was the worst day of my life. I not only had 1 shocking revelation, I had 2. I am praying right now that my Karma wasn't effected
by any of this. I am also focussing now on getting my Good Karma re energized. I think NDN forum will help me get through these things.
But 1 thing is so important that I will have to make NDN forum a lower priority in my life for a while.
School starts next Monday and my Daughter needs my entire focus during school hours. She is starting High school charter. She goes to school once a week and is home schooled the rest of the time.

OK!!!! You want to hear my shocking story. Here goes. I am still shocked and have not dealt with my emotions with either of these things.
This story will be my first attempt at healing my pains.

We went to our cabin this weekend Friday afternoon and was going to drive into Portola 24 miles in morning to bring our grand daughte back and spend another night. As I always do when I go up to the high country, I visit my friend Brazil and bring him milk bread fruit and books.
At 4:56pm on 7-8-9 ( I still can't wrap my mind around this phenomenon yet) I drove to Brazils cabin and from the road I notice 8 police vehicles at his place. I drove by a few times trying to get a better look but didn't go on his property. What the F happened I thought. I waited to almost dark before I got enough courage to confront the police and ask what happened. Fearing the worst, that he had died. Why else would 8 cops be up their I thought.
But first.
While we pondered about what might have happened and not telling our daughter about the cops. My daughter revealed something to my wife
that was so shocking and embarrassing for me as a good dad, that I can't even share it with you. I can say she has lost her Internet priviledges for a very long time and I need to give her alot more attention from now on. I might be able to talk about another time after I have thought about it more. I was ready to cancel the weekend and go back home but my wife said NO because we made plans with grand daughter.
That was a mistake.
As shocking as my daughters problem is, it's minor compared to what I was about to go through and find out.
Sorry
My daughters out of bed now I will have to finish this story later.
I have to get off line till after lunch from now on. I made a promise
to the family for my daughters sake. Peace
Now you will have to ponder as I did.
Shocking I will tell you.

I drive over Brazils cabin right at dark and no one is there. I walk around house and his dog is gone, his cat is there, he is gone but his 6 pot plants he grows with his medical card are still there. His cabin is locked and no sign of anything at all. I leave and wait till morning so I can see better.
I get no sleep that night. At 6:30am we leave to pick up granddaughter and made call to hospital and sheriffs office with no success. I put out the word to a few friends to ask around for me. On the way back up to cabin, we drove by his cabin again and all is quiet and Brazils truck is not there. Later we decide to go swimming and make phone calls around noon.
We take another look to see if anyone is around Brazils place. I see Brazils truck and 2 other cars. As I get closer down his long driveway I notice that it was not Brazils truck and there are 3 detectives standing on his porch. I ask whats going on and they told me that there has been a homicide on this poperty and could I get out of the car and answer a few questions. As we walked I asked if Brazil was dead and the detective said No he has been arrested for the homicide and he couldn't tell me who the victim was and that he was a local person. My minds was reeling, there was only one person in the valley that Brazil hated and there was strange activity around his cabin as well. The detective asked how I knew Brasil and I told him that he watches my cabin while I am gone. But any answers I give are only hearsay, I told him. as I don't even know his last name. I told him I didn't want to be part of any investigation.
We cut the weekend short after that. Way too much bad energy in the valley. My wifes parents showed up at the cabin 30 minutes after we left and they commented later that they could feel the bad energy.
We forgot we invited them. Well Home sweet home.
I am waiting for more news about the details. It might take a week, I will keep ya all updated. Meanwhile I got alot of healing to do.
P.S. I wish my daughters problem was only ****ography.

My current thoughts on all this is, he must have shot someone in self defense. It was on his property. The detectives didn't ask any questions that would lead me to think it wasn't already an open and shut case.
There was no crime scene tape. It looked as though the cops didn't have access inside his cabin. When I was there, they were video taping his inside through the windows.
I think Brazil was threated by a neighbor and he asked them to leave.
They didn't and he threatened that person with his gun and the person must not have heeded his warning. Brazil probally called the sheriff himself. That's the only senerio that makes any sense to me.
I can't wait to sell my cabin next year now. I lost all my good feeling with the place this weekend.

geez ringo thats rough bud !

I still don't understand how your daughter is connected to this. Do you know who killed who yet or why? This is creepy, I would want to sell too. The cabin will never be the same. You trusted this man and that has to feel a little weird too, especially since you have kids. I still think he was hiding something. This sounds like an NDN mystery. I hope this doesn't haunt you or your family. My thoughts are with you....be careful.

He wasn't hiding anything.
I loved Brazil like a brother and trusted him.
My daughters problem is about a girl she met on the internet who was raped by here dad and my daughter decided to follow in this girls footsteps by self mutilation with a razor blade. There I said it.
She cut herself 9 times. Then she told my wife that she did it because I was mean to her sometimes. That was her first lie. Then she said she read it in a book, but the book was months ago, that was a lie. I knew they were lies so I walked outside and left the rest to my wife. She then admitted about her realationship with her online friend. We have erased that online friend from her life, that was the easy part and she is OK with all of it. We now give her 3 giant hugs a day and talk about getting past this episode and do some healing. This Brazil thing has, in a strange way helped us not over react to our daughters problem and take enough time to agree on a thoughtful loving solution without laying alot of guilt and head trips on her.
It's all about us now.
That is our new montra for the year.

Wow Ringo that is rough, I'm sorry to hear about all your troubles. Please keep us posted if you feel up to it or need someone to talk to, we are all here for you and your family. Thanks for sharing it with us though, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

[Pokerkitty6]

That's a great montra! I never had to deal with "cutting" in my huge family. I don't have much advice for you on this one. I know you love your family. All teenagers go thru the hate thing. You all will overcome this and be a better family because of it. Don't let her hurt your feelings, she doesn't understand what an impact it has on you yet, but one day she will.

Wow Ringo I am so sorry that all this has happened to you. I hope what ever problems your are having with your daughter are only temporary. I am sure it is not going to stick with you as your karma is good and I can still feel it. Although I am concerned about your friend. It gives me chills. I am assuming that the two situations are entirely different as I feel no connection. I will pray for you and your family.
