How do you play happy hostess with a toddler missing, and most likely dead?
How do you load up a cart at the grocery store, thinking about what you'll make? How do you set the table with dishes from the cupboards and not see her little baby plate and sippy cups without going to pieces? How do you not lie comatose on the floor of her empty bedroom, smelling her sweet sleeping baby smell, wondering what hell she might be living through at that very moment with a kidnapper or pedophile?
No, instead you crack open some cans of beer and fire up the BBQ & celebrate the fact that your lying, <modsnip> of a criminal daughter is sleeping free and easy in her bed that night instead of cellblock 11?
How does nobody say her name? How does everyone "keep it light" when a voiceless, powerless and defenseless baby isn't sitting in her usual little spot at the table, making everyone laugh as she lights up the room?
Doesn't matter. Pass me another Bud and some more macaroni salad.
Amazing post!
