Hi to all... Thank you Tricia,
Prayer is so powerful and God hears every single one of ours for this sweet child. Caylee's name has been in our church prayer box since this story broke and our whole congregation has prayed for her to be found daily.
I just want to tell you something, as I simply can not sleep tonight....
I have enjoyed Websleuths as a "guest" for a very long time but joined a few weeks ago. I have not posted until now but am glad I finally decided to jump in. This is a very special place and that is rare to find due to how the internet has become a "trolling" ground for people who want to hurt people. Maybe human nature has become less tolerant, less caring, less thoughtful but the maintenance by the mods and Tricia on this board, and the general display of agreeing to disagree, without much ado has made me want to be a part and contribute in a positive way, with kindness and consideration to you all.
This case, so bizarre, so unbelievable, so heartbreaking. Yet this is just ONE case, in a world of so many missing children.
My motto has been SingLoveLaugh for many years. Sing for joy, Love for everyone, Laugh for those who can not. I am a piano and voice teacher in Wilmington North Carolina and am 53, happily married and have 3 grown children - a daughter, 31 who recently got married, a daughter, single who is 30 and a son, single who is 29...yep 3 in three years and it was, is and will always be the most wonderful experience of my life - to be a mom. I can't wait until we have grandchildren; none yet...but I'll surely be ready for as many and all as can be produced! I love my family, all of them. I thank God everyday for each one of them...parents, siblings, nieces and nephews. We are fortunate to all live within a couple of miles of each other and we all worship, pray and spend as much time as possible with each other. We are blessed. I look at the Anthony Family and thank the Lord for every minute of every day that I have lived. My father is a minister and we give all the glory, honor and praise to the Lord. Please don't think I am bragging about how great my life is; I am just so very thankful of what my life is NOT. My family suffered the death of my brother when he was 15 and I know grief and what it can and will do if allowed to manifest itself. Our family has suffered the loss of two sons taken, murdered at the hands of strangers, yet we have faith that God allowed them to be taken for a reason. That is how I feel about little Caylee. Only God really knows why, how, when and for what purpose anyone could harm an innocent child. If she is truly gone, she is resting in the arms of a much better father (parent) than she could have had on this earth.
Sorry for the rambling on...I posted some of my info a few days back but I think I lost the post. I believe I have read every post by every poster on this board and there are some angels among us here. May the Lord give us peace tonight in a world with so much sadness.
Thank you for the enlightening, hearty, in-depth and enjoyable sharing and baring of souls and hearts by so many of you on this forum.
