I have the same pink chucks! Mud and all.

A really awesome thing, to me, is that as heartbreaking as the situation is, Sky's life has already left the world a better place. The love and compassion he brings out in so, so many, evidenced in the pictures and stories and on these boards... I can only hope to do a fraction of that in my lifetime, you know? It would be a beautiful thing, to see him grow up, and old, and to remember all the good he brought out in strangers. But it is a beautiful thing, now, to see, just the same, and I am grateful for that.

I think the other positive that has come from this case is that fathers are getting more credence in the public eye (and, hopefully, the legal realm as well). It's beyond a travesty what happened to Solomon in the court system and I know that his story has shed light on the problem of automatically believing that women are always the victims of domestic violence and that men never are -- and in believing that mothers are always the most fit parent and fathers are not. I am sure that Solomon would give anything to have his son back but I hope it helps for him to know that Sky made grand changes in his little life -- things that most adults would never accomplish.

SKY

There once was a toddler named Sky.
He was the apple of his father’s eye.
I called him “little man” --
he had hundreds of fans.
In his honor, we let many balloons fly.

There is sadness, but most do not cry
Because we know he’s somehow nearby.
Little man, you’re far from alone --
All our voices call you home.
Come to your family, little man, little Sky.

I love you baby Sky!

I do not know the weather there; but it's a beautiful day here with beautiful blue skys. I would love to know that Sky could spend this day outside with little M and their dad. It is completely unfair and unreasonable that Julia took him away from these opportunities. As summer approaches, my heart really hurts that Solomon will not be able to take little Sky to the park.

I will be gone for the weekend, and will have very spotty internet coverage. My piece of my heart will be here searching for Sky :hug:

Comcast had an internet outage and I haven't had internet since yesterday afternoon!! I've been going crazy wondering about any new news about Sky. Still nothing. I don't understand why the person who was responsible for taking care of him hasn't been arrested yet for a minimum of the neglect she obviously inflicted on MM since she weighed as much as most small toddlers. Heck...my 2 1/2 MONTH old grand daughter weighs 14 pounds. MM was only twice the size of a 2 1/2 month old INFANT!!!!

Even if there is nothing that LE can do about Sky right now - do something for MM to show her that the world cares about her just as much as we do about Sky, I'm begging you. We might talk about Sky a lot more but that's because we don't know where he is and we worry for his safety. MM is just as much loved by us as Sky is and we (as a whole) need to let MM know that we love and care so much about her well being also. She needs to know that we want justice for the neglect and abuse that she went through just as much as we do about what Sky went through.
