Been a long couple days, haven't slept hardly at all. They have charged my cousin with the murders. We thought first off it was him but wouldn't say it until we knew for sure. It happened just like we thought it did, I dont think I can give details right now. All of the family is back in town and everything is going as good as it could be. It still hasn't hit real to me yet that this all happened the way it did. A car wreck or something like that is something maybe you could wrap your head around, but my grandparents raised my cousin since he was 10, 30 years they gave and gave everything they had without question. What he did to them makes no sense. They were teachers for almost 70 years combined, raised me and all my siblings, gave anything you wanted or needed at anytime. Grandma tought me how to cook, how to garden, she would sit for hours with me helping me study and work on projects, we watched cooking shows everyday after football until dinner, then i would go out to the shed with grandpa to "work" He thought me how to weld and work on cars, how to read a tape measure, how to use a saw and drill, we built trailers and deer blinds together, we built my first forge together. I joined the Navy because of all his sea stories from the 50's. He was a scrounger because he did without so his family got what we needed. He taught me, how to use what I had to make what I needed. He whistled and sang constantly, he took me and my cousin on vacation once when we were little and actually pulled the car over on the highway until we could both sing "mares eat oats and does eat oats" from start to finish. He was a hard man and a gentle man all at the same time, he didn't put up with crap from anyone, I know all of us boys had wanted to swing on him a time or two, my dad was the only one who actually had enough guts to follow thru, we were laughing about how bad of an idea that was! I'm having trouble sleeping and have been numb, you guys have really helped a lot. I know they both went fast but do think about those last few seconds. I know I shouldn't but can't help it, it still don't seem real, seems like a movie and he is gonna walk in from the garage and tell me to go outside and build something.
