Yeah. And then we have officers who, you know, didn't actually enter our home. SWAT never came in, didn't get out to our community. The officer who fell asleep, like they're all taking the stand. One officer says that my mom, by telling him she threw the cake in the garbage that started it, that was a reaction. Yeah. She she gave him.

So a few days after, honestly, I don't even know how long after they passed, we had the funeral in our community. And... I just think of how full the church was. It was filled with the firemen, the community members, people from my mom's work. And I just remember sitting there and I was still, you know... I was in shock.

Like, it's out of body kind of experience of, like, looking around and thinking, like, oh, everyone's here. But I still didn't really grasp the idea of, like, what I had, like, completely lost and, like, this new normal. But... It was hard because we had to move within a month's time. And I mean, this was a community that I had known my whole life. And small. And small, yeah.

And yeah, it was just so difficult. I didn't want to leave. And when we first moved there, we had to live with my aunt. But Carson turned 18 within a month of moving out there. So within two months of my parents passing away... He had turned 18, so he like, quote, aged out, right? He becomes an adult. Yeah. Which is also just sad for him. Like, I have a 19-year-old.

I couldn't imagine him just being like, okay, you're on your own now because no one's getting money for you to take care of you. Especially what he went through.

And so my brother, my younger brother and I stayed at my aunt's house, but we only lived there. I only lived there for a year. It was just made me feel so uncomfortable. And my grandma listened and she had suggested that I move in with her. So yeah. I lived there with my grandma for a little bit. My grandma sent me home to Manitoba every summer, so I got to go back there.

But it's not I didn't want to live with my grandma. I just didn't want to live in Ontario. So my aunt said to me, if you want, you can go live in Manitoba. And I said, no, nanny would never let me. She said, no, I'm your guardian. If I say you can, you can. Right. So she got me on a plane and I went back to Manitoba. I lived with one of my family members there for a little bit.

And then eventually I moved in with Ken and Debbie, both of my parents' best friends, my best friend's parents. I mean, it was a dream come true. I now get to call my best friend my sister. Like, that was the best in the world. Yeah. I think it was a blessing, though, that I did get to go home as much as I did.

Because I know a lot of folks who endure things, it's hard for them to go back to where, you know, the crime happened or the traumatic event. Yeah. I think a lot of people think, oh, you all went through the same thing. We all went through different things and everyone processed things differently as well, right? So along the way, my older brother, he took his own life. Yeah.

Because of the lack of mental health support, that's ultimately what I would say it was really at the end of the day. So he took his own life and losing him was harder than going through what I went through with my parents.
