Oh no, it was totally unexpected. He worked as the night manager at Red Lobster in Benton Harbor. Benton Harbor is a nasty place, highest crime rate per person in the state of Mi. We lived in the next town over, St. Joseph. Anyways, I had just moved out and he just moved in with his fluzy of a girlfriend (yeah, I'm still a bit bitter ) as she was pregnant with his kid. I was told when he didn't come home, she drove to the restraunt to check on him as she couldn't get anyone to answer the phone. His car was in the parking lot but the doors were locked. She called the police and he was found stabed to death in the office. I still have nightmares and can't watch any movies with stabbings or anything like that in it.

They caught the guy, he was a crack addict who worked in the kitchen. Chip (my ex-husband) had loaned him some money earlier in the night and this guy came back later looking for another handout. When Chip refused, he pulled a big knife from the kitchen and threaten him. Chip open the safe and gave him ALl the money but the guy still stabbed him, 36 times!

Unfortunately, we don't have the death penalty in Mi. The guy was sentanced to life, which in Mi means 30 years. I still get and send christmas cards to his family. The funeral was hard as I had never been to a funeral. It was open casket and I've never been able to get the image of him laying in the casket out of my head. I made the mistake of touching him, he was cold and hard, I almost passed out.

That was a long time ago and I think I've come to term with it, as best as one can. I'm no longer angry and just try to remember the good things about him and our relationship.
