I love you babe. I miss you babe. I know you are gone. I dwell that you may have saw the accident or suffered (even for a second). I wish I knew for sure that you did not suffer and that you did not even know you were going to be in an accident. I hope you were passed out when the accident happened and you died in you sleep. I have so many horrifying images in my mind that you were scared, in pain, or you were crying out for me "mommy, mommy I need you. Mommy mommy. . . . help me, where are you. I'm scared. It hurts so bad I cannot breath" I wish I had peace knowing you did not suffer and/or knowing you died instantly. All I know from the autopsy report is that you died "Rapidly". I hate our new police. They should have contacted me right away since I was a couple of blocks away. They waited 12 hours. They were unsympathetic, no compassion, would not tell me what happened. They asked me if I had a son named James Vahle, wanted me to give them identifying marks on his body and then told me he was at the morgue. They would not answer any of my questions and told me I was not entitled to any information. They should have contacted me immediately so that I could have been my your side if you needed comforting. I so... wish I was there for you no matter how long or short that may have been. I am sorry angry on how the police handled this matter. I use to love our police officers and how they treated you and the community kids as they grew up. They were wonderful police and really watched over, nutured and helped with the teenagers growing up and trying to keep them out of trouble and talking to them and a telling them what the repercussion of their actions. They gave our kids the benefit of the doubt. The police really cared about you guys and looked out for your wellbeing. In the last few years - this new officers are totally opposite - they are insensitive, have no compassion, don't try to assist the community - they seem to create more harm than good. They incite aggression. What happened to the quality of officers we use to have. No wonder their is so much animosity and distrust towards the officers that are suppose to protect us. What happened to the training of our officers Why are our police officers so hateful, uncaring and insensitive to their community?
