He will get you through it.

Chasing Justice: A Dream That Stands the Test of Time

For some, justice is swift. For others, it is a pursuit that stretches over years, even decades—a distant horizon that seems to retreat the closer one gets. The dream of finding elusive justice can haunt a person for over 20 years or more, becoming a defining part of their identity and life’s journey. In my profession as a prosecutor, I’ve witnessed both the relief of swift justice and the agony of its delay. Yet, what is most remarkable are those who continue to fight, even after the world has turned its attention elsewhere. Their persistence speaks to a deeper truth: the belief that justice, no matter how delayed, is worth pursuing. 

The Emotional Toll of Waiting 

 For those seeking justice, especially after two decades or more, the emotional toll is immense. Hope is a double-edged sword—keeping you going but often cutting deep as the years drag on without resolution. Anger, frustration, and weariness all begin to settle in like unwelcome companions. The injustice begins to feel like a shadow, following you in every aspect of life. Yet, there’s a spark that keeps burning—a dream that remains, even in the darkest moments. It’s not just about the wrong that needs to be corrected; it’s about the principle. It’s about ensuring that the truth matters, and that those who were wronged can one day stand in the light of what is right. 

  The Systemic Challenges 

Often, those in pursuit of long-delayed justice face more than just emotional hurdles. Legal systems can be slow-moving, complicated by bureaucracy, and, in some cases, designed to discourage reopening old wounds. Evidence can degrade, memories can fade, and witnesses may move on. It’s a challenging reality that many face in these prolonged battles for accountability. However, history has shown us that justice isn’t always bound by time. Cases that seemed cold for decades can suddenly break wide open thanks to new technologies, fresh evidence, or even public attention. DNA testing, for example, has exonerated people decades after wrongful convictions, and digital forensics are constantly evolving. 

The Power of Perseverance 

 Those who continue to chase justice for 20 years or more are often driven by a deep sense of purpose. Whether they’re fighting for a loved one, a cause, or their own vindication, their perseverance becomes a testament to the enduring nature of the human spirit. It’s about refusing to let injustice have the final word. We’ve seen cases where families relentlessly pursue the truth, even after law enforcement has closed the book. We’ve seen communities rally to demand answers, even when the odds seem insurmountable. The dream of justice, though elusive, remains a guiding star for these individuals—a promise that one day, truth will prevail. 

Why the Dream Matters 

 Even after 20 years, the dream of justice is more than just a personal battle; it’s a fight for the very foundations of society. Justice delayed may feel like justice denied, but it is still a reminder that our legal and moral systems are works in progress, and that the fight is ongoing. The pursuit of justice, no matter how elusive, ensures that future generations inherit a world where truth is valued and accountability is demanded. The dream of justice might take a lifetime to realize, but its impact, once found, echoes for generations. So, for anyone still searching, still fighting, after 20 years or more: your journey matters. The pursuit is worth it. Keep dreaming, keep pushing. Justice may be elusive, but it is never beyond reach.

In Hindsight...


It has been a beautiful life...
TRULY BEAUTIFUL!

It's not all about wealth.
It's not about what you have.
It's not about the size of your house.
Or the brand of your car.
It's not about the beautiful things you own.
It's not about your title or 
the brand of your clothes, bags and shoes.

Life is all about finding
PEACE OF MIND...
Learning to love unconditionally...
Giving without expecting anything in return...

Life is about finding your worth
and knowing you are ENOUGH...
Life is about the relationships you have formed,
the lives you have touched...

Life is about being content with what you have
and finding happiness in what you do...

Life is about KNOWING that you love what you do
and that you are where your heart is...

Life is about learning the lessons 
that each heartbreak taught you...

Life is about the people around you 
and knowing that you have served them well...

Life is about making the people you love HAPPY that you are in their lives...

Life is all about Faith, Hope, Strength, Courage and Wisdom...
It's all about Love... Contentment... Peace...

Life is finding meaning and making a difference in your own little way...

Life is all about Living and Loving and Coping...

Life is PERFECT the way things are...

And that is why LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL!

☀️☀️☀️

Thank you, Lord, for everything. 



A pocketful of sunshine to you all!

Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect. It means you decide to see beyond the imperfections.


"Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward to the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage and confidence." ~ Og Mandino


If I could wish for my life to be perfect, it would be tempting, but I would have to decline, for life would no longer teach me anything.
