A Great Guy We Will Never Forget

For the past week, local law enforcements have been mourning the loss of a brother. Deputy David Briese, Badge Number 342, was taken from us tragically on Friday, November 3, 2006. I was working that day when we here at the office got that phone call. He used to work for us here at Big Horn County Sheriffs Office. Then he moved on to bigger and better things. His death was deffinately untimely. I mean hell, I was thinking about him just two days before this happened. It was the 2nd officer funeral I have been to. I must admit, I was shocked to see so many people turn out. I don't blame them for going though. He was a great guy, someone who is going to be deeply missed by those he worked with.

It was one like those you would see in the movies. Police Officers from all over, hundreds of family and friends, and it was a cold and rainy day. Kinda ironic if you think about it. I'm going to put a little something at the end of this. It's going to be called "The Last Call." This is very bone chilling. I could not believe how sad and sick to my stomach I got when I stood there listening to that. Part of me hated myself for going, but on the other hand, I was glad I went due to the fact that it was somewhat in a way closure for me.

The Last Call
"342 10-38? 342 10-38? 342 10-38? 342 10-7..."

For anyone who does not know what that means, 10-38 is asking if the officer is okay, and 10-7 is meaning death.

This was the worse thing to hear. I'm not sure what else to say but he will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

God Bless

well, here i am. and i am more lost than what i would ever imagine for being 19. Anywho, Bucky is in the Navy as is posted in other blogs. Well, I love him with all my heart, but i mean i want to leave him due to the fact that he treated me like shit and only wanted me for one thing. I mean, he was supposed to ask my dad for my hand in marriage, that didn't happen. he'd make all these lil promises, and i was to believe them. Silly me, and little did i know that all those lil promises were going to turn out to be lies. At times i feel like kicking myself in the ass for believing everything he said/says. I mean, people have asked me if he treats me like shit why haven't i left him yet, honestly, i don't know. It's like that Chingy song "Pullin' Me Back" Some of the song lyrics are: "Every time I try to leave something keeps pullin me back (me back) tellin me i need you in my life. Everytime I try go something keeps tellin me that (tellin me that) everything will be alright." So yea, I wish i knew what it was that is keeping him in my life. I guess i don't want to make my final decision until I see him one last time and see if he's changed or not. If things don't happen to work out with bucky, I have a wonderful guy waiting in the dark. I made the choice of not going out to Japan. I'd rather get my bills paid and start gettin some better credit. I would LOVE to go out there but i have shit here i need to get taken care of. For now i have to go. I have to get ready to go to a funeral
