some of yall know me pretty well, and some of you don't. well get ready to learn a little about ol Russ - Red1100cc
i get REALLY depressed 3 times a year.
when the 1st snow begins to fly, i get bummed for a few weeks while i adjust to winter. 2 times a year i loose my mind in depression. april 9th and july 21st. these dates are my daughters birth and heaven days.
My daughter, Kira Lynette Reddick drown at swimming lessons July 21, 2004. She was at swimming lessons and they were not watching her. She went down a slide into the water and never came up. she drown.
she was staying with her great grand maw for a week during summer break and great grandmaw had asked to put her in swimming lessons. Kira had had 1 round of swimming lessons already, so i said sure.
i will never forgit the call i got. i was working and got a call "you have to come home RIGHT NOW!". I did my best to ride reasonably. i got stopped by a train on the way home. i thought of every horrible thing i could and before i got home i knew. i knew my little girl was dead! my soul told me it was true.
The sounds of my screams still haunt my friends that were unfortunate enough to be there.
i miss her more ever year! i see who she might have been in the face of her brother. he looks exactly like her.
i am having a hard time typing, so i will leave you with some pictures and a few websites my wife has made for Kira.
with my wife and son sleeping i just feel so alone right now and hope sharing with my friends might make me feel just a little better.
watch your children close when their swimming; but teach them to swim! i still feel it's important.
thanks for looking Brothers and Sisters, the next few days are gonna suck!

I am very sorry for your loss Russ. I wish I had something to say that could ease your pain, but I am certain that is not possible right now. I feel the hurt in your words brother, and I can't even imagine what it would be like to lose a child. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Much love and respect to you Russ.

Sorry brother, I cant say I understand the pain because I havent lost like that, but fear it everyday. Be strong and hopefully you can take a nice ride in her memory tomorrow.
