a man runs over his OWN daughter, smh

(CNN) -- A 20-year-old woman from Iraq has died in an Arizona hospital, nearly two weeks after her father, police say, ran her over with a car because she had become "too Westernized."

Noor Faleh Almaleki died Monday of injuries suffered when she was run over October 20 in a parking lot in the Phoenix suburb of Peoria, Arizona, police there said. Authorities said they expect to change the aggravated assault charge against her father, Faleh Hassan Almaleki, 48, to more severe counts after meetings with prosecutors, Peoria police announced.

Peoria police said Faleh Hassan Almaleki believed his daughter had become "too Westernized" and had abandoned "traditional" Iraqi values. Peoria police spokesman Mike Tellef told CNN the family moved to the Phoenix area in the mid-1990s, and Almaleki was unhappy with his daughter's style of dress and her resistance to his rules.

After the incident, Almaleki's father drove to Mexico, abandoning his vehicle in Nogales, Peoria police said. He then made his way to Mexico City and boarded a plane to Britain, where authorities denied him entry into the country and put him on a plane back to the United States, police said.

A friend of the daughter, Amal Edan Khalaf, 43, also suffered serious injuries in the attack, police said. Almaleki faces a separate aggravated assault charge in connection with her injuries.

He is currently held in Phoenix, with bail has been set at $5 million, Tellef said.

when i love, i love hard.. that is why i dont just give my heart to anybody. i dont want to invest my time & heart into someone who is incapable of returning that same love, time, and effort. i dont want to give my all to someone who does not deserve it; so until then ill patiently wait. wait for something, settle for nothing... & focusing on bettering myself in the meantime

hi.

I feel like writing. Good morning America! Another cold Sunday, I love it; I have my spandex, uggs, and hoodie on. Anywho, whatever happened to Spontaneity? I think everyone is afraid to do something unplanned, out of the ordinary. Not knowing the outcome of a decision is kind of scary.. but sometimes I believe that is the best part of committing a spontaneous act. Stop being afraid people! That is what I am trying to do. I know its easier said than done, but thought turns into action. I believe that!

LOVE THIS

Shakespeare Sonnet 116

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

For Rolly

When God created you
he reached into the bluest part of the sky
and this is how he made your eyes
on my loneliest of days
I look up and search for you in heaven
the beauty I see means nothing
if you are not here to share it with
then I remember that you have seen it all
and I have experienced nothing
I only know the stories of your worldly adventures
those that encourage me to go on my own journey
the sky inspires me
the bluest part
your eyes

do you beleive in me?

i need to be restored. my mind is broken, my heart is broken. i am in a billion pieces. where is the handyman i long for? if you know anyone available, please tell them my heart has an opening. i pay well. i offer benefits, such as insurance. if i break your heart, i promise to give you a new one.

my heart is an untold story. in search of a talented writer to organize my life into an enchanting tale. someone who will add his own twist, i will want to eat up his every word. his writings will cast a spell on me, and leave me wondering what will happen next. he will give me the perfect ending, even if its not happily ever after.

take my picture. im hiring a photographer to capture my heart. he will take my picture, and show me how beautiful i am. something i have not seen in a while. he will show me the perfect way to pose. his camera will capture all my love.


but my soul needs a caretaker, most of all. there is a lonely sign, hanging in the vacant window of my heart that reads:

OPEN POSITION AVAILABLE.

my new favorite short story, pls read it!

a few words

I think I am afraid to love because I have been hurt before. It sounds so cliche and I hate even saying it, but its true. I didn't know a past relationship gone wrong could have this much affect on my present. But everytime I picture myself getting close to someone, I push them away not even realizing what I'm doing. I just gave SO MUCH in my last relationship; time, love, effort, forgiveness, everything. Now I don't think anyone will ever give me the same amount of love I can give them. I'm scared of getting hurt again, that things won't work out. Falling and no one will be there to pick me up. I guess I would rather be alone that hurt ever again.. but whats life without love and/or sacrifice. Who knows until I try again? Let someone in again? LOVE AGAIN...
