On July 15th 2008 my dad was taken from me. He was brutually murdered in his own home, in a home invasion. They didn't take anything but the most precious thing from us, his life. I don't know how to go on from here..I don't know what to do. I miss him soooo much and I want him back. I never felt this much pain before in my entire life. I just wish they would of taken me, instead of him because now my mother is heartbroken and there's nothing I can do to fix this for her. He was the back bone of our family and my hero. Dad I love you sooo much.

As a result of this my mother is also left with no health care now. My dad was her sole support...My friend, Janet, started a petition to get the government to help with health care costs of survivors of murder victims. Please go visit her site and sign the petition.
