Jason is 32 and just hit the ” big city ” paper and the news for being accused of felony crimes. Carrying 3 concealed weapons, not one but three and then he was arrested also for a warrent in another town in the middle of the state for the same crime. I knew Jason 15? years ago when he was 18 give or take, I worked with him at a place were I had a second job for a while. He worked there first and when I started I thought all thoses guys that worked in that department were kind of lazy, it was late hours and there wasn’t much for them to do and I thought Jason was obnoxious, a few weeks later I adored him. He was the cutest, sweetest boy and he would do anything I would ask him to do. He would say ok baby and when I would give him a look he would say ok mom and smile, he was a charmer. He had light red hair and blue blue eyes and he was skinny skinny.  He and my daughter were almost the same age and she had just gotten married and when she and her husband would be out running the streets at night on the weekend they would stop in and talk to me. I always teased her and told her I have your 2nd husband already picked out. When people would come in to where we worked and see us they would always ask if we were related because of our haircolor and I would always say ” No but I would like to adopt him”  he’ld smile. I left that job after a year to work just one job and never really saw him again or atleast not very often that I can remember. Yesterday I was sitting at my daughter’s dining room table and the TV was on and I heard his name, he has a very very unusual last name and  his town ( a small town outside the big city ) was still the same. I could’nt hear it very well so my daughter backed up the DVR thingy and sure enough it was Jason. He was stopped on a Harley Davidson with 3 concealed weapons in his jacket, a knife, a billy club and a loaded gun. They had his picture and even though I could see it was him I was pretty amazed he was this hugh guy with a thick neck long hair and a gotee and in the picture I saw,  a tatoo that ran down from under his chin into his shirt collar. I said oh my gosh he was such a sweet boy and my daughter said ” I dont think he’s either one of those things anymore mom ” But I have to wonder, he wasn’t 12 when I knew him he was 18 or so would his general nature change that much or didn’t I really see him like he was? I thought he was an adorable charming boy and now he’s a big bad gun carrying biker guy? I told my daughter I was going to write him at the jail and she said it would be a mistake because he wasn’t that Jason anymore, so I won’t or if I do it will be a note with out a return address just to let him know that someone outside the usual people that care about him is thinking of him and hopeing and praying he’ll be ok in this mess. I know he is oviously a dangerous person now to carry all those weapons but I will always see him as that cute kid and wonder what happened to Jason. see you tomorrow…Kathryn
