Comments on: The First Dark Day http://www.mchenrycounty1981.com/archives/2009/05/the-first-dark-day/ The Murders of Ronald Scharff and Patricia Freeman Tue, 12 May 2009 00:53:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Paul Scharff http://www.mchenrycounty1981.com/archives/2009/05/the-first-dark-day/comment-page-1/#comment-558 Paul Scharff Tue, 12 May 2009 00:53:58 +0000 http://www.mchenrycounty1981.com/?p=459#comment-558 Hey Nick, Thank you for commenting. I would hope many fathers will think of their son as I write about me. These are the things that really happen to people when inhumanity strikes. It is also important that the community acts when the system seems to fail. Nothing will replace a love one lost but not doing the right things drags out the pain for those already in emotional peril. I hope that I can be an example for many fathers to never want this for their sons. Maybe that will force the community to face the machine. Thanks again for your thoughts Nick!! Paul Hey Nick,

This will always be home in my heart even though it also represents the worse in my life too. Neverless, this is my home. I love that you try to walk in my path and very grateful that you couldn't. All I can do is describe what it was like but I will never fully reconnect to that day either; but I don't think that I am suppose too. Please keep reading Sharon and follow my plight on getting this case closed. Thank you for your well wishes. Paul Hi Sharon,

One way or another, I am who I am from that day; good or bad. I try to do right and recall some of the many lessons that my father had provided before he was killed. It is tough not having a father and sometimes I find myself in situations were I wish he was here to guide me. That was not meant to be so I have to find other ways to get the job done. You are very sweet to say what you have said and of course call me FRIEND! Thank you Diane!! Paul Hi Diane,

I am always surprised by some of the comments that I read. All though we were there together, I wasn't. I was on another world and it took me some time to get my bearings about me. I find it interesting to hear what was going because I don't remember everything. Thank you for your well wishes and prayers. Please keep reading and following this case to the end. Thank you Mike!!

I have been to your house and recall the horses etc...I can visualize some of what you are describing but the pain you and your family felt and are feeling is a pain I can not imagine. You have a great deal of strength to not give up on this investigation and to write about it. Your blog is amazing to read and I hope it has helped you and your family cope with all that has happened. Paul,

I hope that you continue to find a calmness on this subject, and writing about it will certainly help. Like Craig, a great fear of mine is the effect that an early departure would have on my kids. Not so much that I fear it for myself, but for what they would have to endure as you have. Through your writing, maybe others in a similar situation can learn to find peace in themselves. Nick Paul-

I can relate to all the things that you described. Being young may have been advantage for some things. I was too scared to not have things be normal so I tried real hard to make them normal. I let go things that did not matter. It took me a long time though. Thank you for reading and thank you for writing me Wendy! Thank you Wendy for wishing me peace.
