The Murder of Teacher Tara Grinstead

Brutally taken from this world at only 30 years of age
from either a rape and a murder or a drug addict killing
her with a deadly punch while stealing money from her
after he broke into her house and she caught him.

The real reason for her murder remains a mystery, but
at least the murderer and his accomplish who helped him burn and bury Tara’s body are both behind bars.

Beautiful woman, beautiful teacher, radiant inside and out,
loved by friends and students, said to have touched people in rare ways.
And was an inspiration with a lot of life ahead of her, who brought great things to the high school where she taught.

Seemed close to being a perfect person, a credit to humankind and all that is wholesome and good.
A woman who clearly was making a difference in this world.

After watching many true crime shows, like 48 hours, I have to wonder why so many women like her have been murdered in this world, and why so many other women are murdered in this world as well.

The only way I can reconcile this in my mind is to hope and pray
that when they died, how they went out, no matter how horrible,
no matter how tragic, won’t matter in an afterlife where they will be in a heavenly place beyond worldly cares and concerns and so incredibly happy that their awful deaths will be as if they never happened.
