Perhaps in what ultimately became an act of grace, I have been so busy that it has been relatively easy for my mind to become distracted from the pain I feel over the decision to not indict the officer who killed my brother. Lt. John Ellen received the news that he would return to his life without consequence. When I think about it I become so angry and upset that I cannot focus. At this time, I need to keep the pain contained and out of my consciousness because I would not be able to focus if I allowed myself to ride the wave.
Because the weather was gorgeous on Saturday we all put on gloves and worked in the garage. Within three hours the structure was purged, cleaned and organized. My home is being transformed into a maze of boxes and furniture. It is hard to believe that we are going to be in a new home in three weeks!
Today I am back to work, organizing and packing. Right now, I'm so grateful for the distraction to keep my mind from Texas.
