Worked on this a bit at work today. Added the tags. Used Old Paper distress ink on the tags. It matches just perfect. Then I added the ribbon to each tag. Each pocket has two tags. Then I glimmer misted the chipboard letters LOVE. I really like how they turned out. I am going to add a photo inside the O, and put photos and journaling on each tag. I just want to list things to Jacob as to why I love him.
This is my poor Ryan today. Long story short...yesterday the kids (Ryan and Marcus and Savannah) were riding their bikes and scooter at their school. They walk to and from school everyday,so not far from our house at all. Well they came back and Ryan had all these scratches and a black eye. He said he fell on the stairs and his bike fell on him and he hit a brick. Well today the truth came out. A 16 year old kid punched him. He didn't say anything because he thought he would get into trouble for just being in a fight. Well what happened was this large woman came up to the kids at the school and asked them if they knew where "carrot" was. They thought she was talking about a street and said no, then made a joke and said but you can find some in the ground or in the grocerry store. Well the lady got mad and thought they were making fun of this kid whose nickname is carrot. So she went to get these kids and she brought them back to the school and this 16 year old got out of the car and asked the kids who was talking sh!t about carrot and the kids said nobody and the 16 year old punched Ryan. He did keep the kid from hitting their other friends and Marcus and Savannah. The kids then took his scooter and took off. Well Jacob and his brother in laws went over there to the kids house today to get the scooter back and the kid told Jacob he was going to jump over the fence and kick his a$$. Jacob just laughed because he is so underage and he is threatening Jacob. Well they wouldn't give back the scooter. The neighbor then told Jacob he better be careful because the kids dad is Puerto Rican and he is crazy and he owns guns and he is crazy. Well then Jamie and Jason drove by and the scooter was outside by the street. So they took Ryan up there and he grabbed it and brought it home. Well then a short time after the kid and his dad drove past our house really slow a few times. We called the police because Jacob didn't like them driving past our house and especially since he has to work at night tonight and tomorrow night. So the police came and said we did the right thing and it is good that Jacob decided not to go talk to him again , as that might just add fuel to their fire and make them come by our house more. The policeman said he would drive past our house and through the neighborhood a few times tonight. He said if I have any problems then don't hesitate to call them again. He did tell Ryan next time to give the kid some extra hard hits if it were to happen again. He said that with a juvenile fight there is nothing that they can really do, especially since it already happened. He said had he hit Ryan with something other than his fist than it would have been considered assault with a deadly weapon and then they could have arrested him. So I am going to be taking the kids to school and picking them up for a while now.
I cried the entire way home from work because I felt so awful that I couldn't have done anything to protect him from this.
Ryan and I had a talk in the car and I told him I know he thought that he was going to get into trouble but I told him that though we don't want him to go start a fight if a kid came to him and started a fight with him and punched him then it is in NO way his fault and then he would not get into trouble for that. I told him I don't want him to ever be afraid to tell us something like that. This was serious and important and we will love him no matter what and this was not his fault in any such way. I wish I could have protected him.
