Before I had no doubt...even though my mom did. Now I really don't know what's going to happen. I feel like if the story not run, then the Kirklands, the police and the state win. I trusted the guy who was going to do the story ... now he acts like it just won't be done at all. Even though he assured me before that it would be ... and I in turn assured my mom.
But I refuse to give up.
Ms. M. Davis, who is also a reporter said something to me today that was so powerful. She lost her brother last week. She's also been trying to help me get the story out. But she said, "I understand where you are. You are still fighting for our brother, I no longer have to fight for mine." That's the whole thing in a nut shell. I have to FIGHT for my little brother.
The newspaper doesn't care, the state doesn't care, the police don't care ... it seems like NOONE cares. So, at this point I'll be his voice and continue to fight.
