Moving On - Children of the Children of God

He wanted revenge. And seems to be finally content with his choice to "end it all". But did he?? He wanted to "get them", but did he?? He wanted to "do whatever he could to stop them", but did he??

I just sat here for an hour and listen to Ricky speak. I wish with all my heart I could have met him before this mess. I had soo much to say to him...too much to ask, so much more to share.

There he was...exhausted and beaten by a life he didn't ask for. A rage that wouldn't quit. A mind that lost its desire to find a way to deal.

If there is ANYONE out there feeling like this...LISTEN TO ME! Ricky was powerful beyond any measure. He could have done way more tham he did. His loss is a loss for all of those who abore what these criminals have done! He wanted to stop them. His death did nothing for his cause.

Do not look at his smile and think that this is the way to go. Do not think that is obssession with death fixed anything. Mama and Peter and the others will continue on.

Gather together...make your experiences known. Scream it to the world! Tell anyone who will listen. You want to stop them?? Are you angry?? Then do something about it. There are worse things in this world than death...letting the world know what the truth really is is a step towards justice!!!!

Im sorry Ricky. Im sorry that I didnt get to meet you. Im sorry that I couldnt tell you these things. Im sorry that the only thing available to you were guns and knives. I hope that your death is not in vain.. and that we may unite and make you proud!

It's true...he shouldn't gone out like that! he should have got some sort of help, he said it once that "while there is life there is hope" but he didn't really believe it did he? he lost hope so he took his life. It's very, very sad. What hurts me the most is that his legacy (in TF) is that they are going to use him as an example to further control other young minds, tell them this is how they will end up if they leave. Has anyone read the books by Dave Pelzer? if you want to hear of a man who endured it all and came out triumphantly read his series of books called "A child called It" it was one of the worse cases of abuse in the State of California, his mother would beat him and refuse to feed him but he had a will to live - it's well worth a read guys! If we ever feel that we are at the end of our ropes and we epitomize human suffering we need to look at someone less fortunate than ourselves, then we see that we are truly fortunate. This guy is my hero, check him out:
