Morning Mix: Officer buys diapers and shoes


 Morning Mix: Officer buys diapers and shoes


WHEN THERE ARE MORE SKIES OF GRAY

THAN IN AN ANTON  CHEKHOV  PLAY

AND LIFE IS FAR FROM FAIR

SEEMING NOTHING  BUT DESPAIR.



SOMETIMES A RAY OF HOPE GETS THROUGH

EVEN IF WITH A TEAR OR TWO 

AND TRIES TO SET THINGS SQUARE.



IF ONLY THE RANDOM KINDNESS OF A STRANGER

WERE A THING SOME  COSMIC ARRANGER

COULD BRING ABOUT MORE OFTEN

AND THE VICISSITUDES OF LIFE SOFTEN

DURING BOUTS OF STORMY WEATHER--

BECAUSE, WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT--

WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.

Judy Garland – But Not For Me Lyrics

Old man sunshine, listen you
Never tell me dreams come true
Just try it, and I'll start a riot

Beatrice Fairfax don't you dare
Ever tell me he will care
I'm certain, it's the final curtain

I never want to hear from any cheerful Pollyannas
Who tells you fate supplies a mate
It's all bananas

They're writing songs of love, but not for me
A lucky star's above, but not for me
With love to lead the way I've found more skies of gray
Than any Russian play, could guarantee.....

    Officer buys diapers and shoes for homeless mother caught shoplifting for her kids

    By Peter Holley July 11 at 11:06 AM  

    Since being cited for shoplifting on Monday, Sarah Robinson and her children, including Angelina Romero (from left), Bella Aguilar and Becky Aguilar, have been helped by Roeland Park police officer Mark Engravalle and many others. (Keith Myers/Kansas City Star)
    When Roeland Park police officer Mark Engravalle was dispatched to a local Wal-Mart after a woman was caught shoplifting on Monday, he could have treated the incident like any other petty theft.
    Instead of handcuffing Sarah Robinson and taking her to jail, however, he started a conversation with the mother of six, who told him that her family had struggled since the drowning death of her husband in 2011. Now Robinson and her daughters — 5-year-old Emily, 13-year-old Sophia, 12-year-old Angelina, 4-year-old Miley and twins Becky and Bella — were living out of their car, which had recently been robbed, according to the Kansas City Star.
    After being caught trying to steal baby wipes, shoes and diapers, Robinson told Engravalle that she had attempted to lift the items in a desperate effort to provide for her daughters.
    Engravalle, who had noticed that some of the children were barefoot and had dirty feet, went back inside the store and quietly purchased the stolen merchandise for the family, who were gathered in the parking lot crying at the time, according to the paper. Robinson told ABC News that the officer even let her daughters pick out their shoes.
    “Obviously she is going through a tough time,” Engravalle told NBC affiliate KSHB. “Wal-Mart might see her as a criminal, but I just saw her as a mom going through a really difficult time.”
    It total, Engravalle spent $300 of his own cash, a gesture that overwhelmed Robinson.
    “It was a shocker,” she told the Kansas City Star.
    She told KSHB that she was embarrassed by her decision to shoplift but that she had run out of options. She said Engravalle, who issued her a citation for misdemeanor theft but declined to arrest her, allowed her to keep her family intact.
    “Every morning I get up and keep breathing for them,” she said, referring to her daughters. “I could take the easy way out and send them to live with my mom, but I’m not going to do that. They’re the reason I live.”
    Why did Engravalle decide to help the family?
    “The officer had two children of his own, and he thought of his two kids,” Roeland Park public information officer John Demoss told ABC News. “He thought it was the right thing to do.”
    Earlier this year, Engravalle was the recipient of an award after he helped save the life of an infant who was choking, the Kansas City Star reported.
