Frank is doing life in prison for bribing a government official along with the other dozens of charges of arms dealing, drug running, and having something to with the conspiracy to kidnap me that ultimately lead to my mother’s death. There was a lot more stuff about Frank I didn’t know. Let’s just say, he won’t make it very long in prison with what they have on this guy. Dixon died from blunt force trauma to the head from the pipe I hit him with. I really underestimated my strength. I was cleared from anything that had to do with his death as justified means of protecting myself. He is never going to hurt another person again. I can feel good about that. I saved a lot of people from pain that he could have caused them.

I finally feel like I’m free and I can breathe. I’m ready to face the next chapter of my life and closing the last one for good. I know in life you are never given anything you can’t handle. It was hard to accept that when I was going through it, but I now know life is waiting for me and my mom can finally rest in peace knowing I made it out alive. I am living life for the both of us now and it feels really good. I have an excellent guy behind me and I know life isn’t always rainbows and unicorns, but for me right now that’s exactly what it feels like. That with a whole bunch of chocolate chip cookies.
