Justice, what is justice?

I heard a lady on television say, “Do not wait on the justice system to bring you peace.”

For myself, I am still defining justice. There is no feeling like losing my little brother, who was also my best friend. I personally feel that prison is too good a punishment for the individual  who took my brothers life.

I’m searching for the thing that will give me the strength to just keep moving forward. I don’t believe that for myself anything that surrounds the criminal justice system processes will bring satisfaction or peace. I can’t define justice at this very moment.  There is nothing that can fill that void, and there is nothing that makes Thomas’s absence felt any less.

The common theme that I felt is that T is loved. His presence was one that lifted people and made others smile. Everyone had positive things to say about T and made it known he did not deserve to die the way he did.

The person guilty of this tragedy has traumatized his children for no reason, which is clearly apparent.  Without the investigation, no one knows why this happened to T.  That alone makes it more devastating.

Missing you, Little Bro!!!
