It has been a while since I posted on the forums, but I do remember the miracles that have happened in my life after the outpouring of prayers in response to my requests made here..
From healing to my body to the restoration of my marriage, prayers have been answered.
Let me preface this story and request by going back to January 23,2003. I was still a bitter and cynical person in so many ways, not living for the Lord. But, my heart was softened that day.
A stray I was taking care of had her kittens in my apartment.She had a litter of 4 darling kittens and even though she ran away shortly after, I wound up keeping the first and last born of the litter( 1 girl and 3 boys).
Roxy was the first born, the smallest and the cutest.A long haired tortoise shell who was rejected by her mother and and whom immedialty chose me. Roxy was always sweet, kind and demure.Even had a soft meow( unlike her brother Charley who lets everyone know he's around).
Over the past several months, Roxy has been hanging outside around the apartment, but never going far.In the process, she won the heart of the Apartment staff,many neighbors and all the children in the area.
At about 11pm, the night of December 20th, a neighbor came to my door and said she saw Roxy on the sidewalk and thought she was dead.
It was Roxy, and she had been shot in the head.Nearby were two young men who just happened to be shooting a rifle at what they claimed were racoons. When confronted , these two UTI students gt real beligerent and left.
I called the police and the apartment management.
Houston Police said they would send someone out, but at about 2:30 am they called me back and told me to call back the next day.I did so only to find that they should have come that night, but at this point in time, I could file a complaint, but I would have to go to them and that it would probably be best if the apts. filed it.The Apartments said they would look into it after Christmas.
I am hurting deeply and filled with rage. Its hard to explain this to my 3 y/o when I can't understand it. I'm trying my hardest not to wish all sorts of evil on these two.And everytime I go outside, I think I hear her meow or see her laying in the flowers below my balcony that she loved.
Sorry, for rambling on so long, but I need to get some of this out before it completely eats me up.
