Well, my stepdad's father went to the hospital early this morning, and is having a pacemaker put inside him for his heart tonight. His heart was just doing really really poorly, he didn't have a heart attack, but he could barely act with how slow his heart was pumping blood. At least he's going to be better. He will be at the hospital for about a week.

Also, now I got my mom's full support on becoming a police officer. Wonderful! I will do great things for my community and state. I am not only going to be a protector, but I will do my best to solve problems. As an officer, your duty isn't to punish people, but to enforce the law, and try to ensure safety and order across your territory.
I must admit, with that my family was stolen from this morning by some sad sorry poor dude makes me all the more concerned that more police with high morals to helping people is needed. Even lawbreakers deserve sympathy sometimes, its not the fault of the poor that they do what they have to to make by. They certainly shouldn't steal. And crimes deserve a punishment. But we are a civilized people, we won't lop off hands or imprison people for stealing. If anything, people steal cause they need help but they don't receive help. I could do more than enforce the law, I can also maintain order through kindness.
I'm lucky my county does not have murder commonplace, and the only thing that goes on typically is petty theft, and crap with heroine.

Hopefully things get better and better. Bad news is quickly replaced with good news.
