Usually you don't think stuff like this happens, at lest not to you or someone you know.
But it did.
I know this kid. I know this kid's mother. This kid's mother works with my mom and I consider her an acquaintance, if not a friend. But she's gone through a lot of stuff in her life - most of her other kids have been in jail, especially the eldest, during the time I've known her. And you'd think...you'd think the madness would stop.
But I ended up being the one who found out he'd killed him. Not a heart attack like everyone else was hoping. I had to tell my mom and she had to tell her. Now her kid's going to be in jail for who knows how long - at least fifteen years. And you know what makes this even lovelier? My friend's birthday is tomorrow.
I just want to know why. It's not fair.
Happy birthday indeed, Ms. Patrice.
Wait, who killed who?
Still, it sounds like a lousy situation...
Kevin killed his grandfather. Ms. Patrice's dad.
Okay, who's Kevin? Is he the friend, or is he the eldest brother of the friend?
He's Ms. Patrice's youngest son. Ms. Patrice is my friend and my mother's friend.
That's seriously @#%$ up. I hope his grandpa deserved it or something? I don't know what else to think at something like that. 
I just hope your friend can find a bit of sturdy sanity to hold on to at a time like this. That or a good friend.
He didn't deserve it.
Poor guy.
Ouch. That sucks bigtime.
I hope your friend can recover, I'm sure you and your Mom will be there for her, but I know how had it can be trying to keep someone from falling.
And I can only imagine what it must be like to be the first barer of news like that, I hope you never have to deal with something like that again.
Uhm... ouch. Seriously, that bites.
If that were me, I'd be about ready to snap. Try to be there for her after you tell her. It's going to be one hellova shock.
*offers a hug*
I'm sorry.
That does suck major time. Sometimes it's best not to ask why since it might not lead anywhere. I'm sorry to hear to hear this. I wish peace of mind for your friend.
Oh my..This isn't good news at all Sorry you had to be the one to find out first :/
