I have been trying to hide from this horrific events since the minute it happened. But, unfortunately, with the media, that is extremely impossible. So, I thought to myself, if I can't get away from it, there must be a reason why I must have knowledge of it. So, I opened my eyes, as my heart was already weeping, and dove into the blackness of this story.
I must say, with the simple fact of knowing that a father who did not want to live for one reason or another, and taking his kids with him caused me to instantaneously cry uncontrollably. I held my youngest in my arms at that moment and did not want to let him go, for fear of ever losing him in any way, shape, or form. And, I was simply very confused. As we are all asking this question, "If you do not want to be a part of this world, why take those two innocent and beautiful babies with you?"
Holding back tears, I continued on to learn of the ghastly details that, I am sure, ripped in to the hearts of millions around the world. As I read on, the words flew by my eyes so fast, that I was hoping MSNBC had missed a typo in their story. Did I actually see the words, "Chop Wounds"? Reading this, my body literally felt faint, and it was a good thing I was sitting, because I would have passed out. I had forgotten to breathe for what seemed like 5 minutes after reading on as to WHAT that FATHER did to his own children before taking their lives and his own. I did not realize I hadn't taken a breath in so long, that my body finally made me gasp for air.
This case has been closely followed by the media since the beginning. How could this happen? Listen, I have had my fair share of issues with supervised visitation, and am extremely surprised that on such a high profile case, there was only one social worker involved with visitation at the Father's home. I would at least think they would have to have the visitation at a neutral place. Especially, since it has been claimed by the Cox Family that the fear of the Father's wretched behavior was communicated to the courts and police, resulting in no follow-up nor action what-so-ever.
Although this story, by no means, will ever be considered a happy ending in any way, shape, or form, there is one small ray of sunshine that peeks through the dark layers and layers of clouds after this enormous and evil storm. When asked what was getting them by or giving them peace, their answer is a testimony to all of us! They explained that their FAITH is what bonds them and keeps them strong. They explained on national television in front of everyone and anyone watching that knowing their Grandchildren were now with their Mother in Heaven and that they feel no pain gives them inner peace.
Wow. I must say, Thanks be to God!!! My hats off to them to show all who is and was watching just how important it is to have Jesus in our lives. He is the glue that sticks us all together and shows us the right way in life. It is times like these that we cannot fathom such a horrific timeline of events would ever transpire. Although, we have HIM to rest on and give our grief to. When we are asking the questions of 'Why' or 'How Could Someone Ever', just know that there are things that we will never and shouldn't ever understand. That is why HE is there, to shield our eyes and let us know that even in the darkest of hours, HE is always there consoling and strengthening us.
Thank You Cox Family for being and AMAZING Testimony to ALL!!!! May God Bless You and Be With You During These Darkest Hours!!!
