Me and myself have a deal. No crying until they are found. Then it's wine time, and it's both a celebration of them and a time to just let go. This one is HARD.
It's too late, I tried teh... I cried today.

I just wanted to give everyone a huge, huge hug that's followed this case. I am going to go pick up my own 10 year old daughter from school and this weekend highlight her hair. She's been begging me for months and its something so small that will make her so happy. I feel blessed to have learned of Zahra's courageous spirit and very grateful to not have shed tears alone over such a tremendous loss to our world.
To all WSers, mods, and lurkers:grouphug:. Thank you.
aw hugs to you BritsKate. Enjoy your time with DD this weekend. I agree, it is such a small thing but will make her happy and the time spent with her making her hair pretty will be time you can thank your lucky stars you have her
After intensely following Caylee and Hayleigh and Kyron and Ethan and Adji and Nevaeh and too many others to name, I would have believed I was ready for today. Ready to hear those words. Ready to be able to grieve for this sweet angel child.
But I'm not. I've been dreading those words since the case started, but most especially since the discovery of her prosthesis. My heart is heavy, and every second leading up to 4PM will be an eternity.
:hug: to all.
I just wish I could stop crying.
Zahra is just special - her smile, her courage, the inquisitive tilt of her head as she was getting her hearing aid. Zahra is all things good. The Zahra's of the world give me hope.
ETA: I have had to step away for a few days now and again as it is wrecking havoc on my emotions - then come back and dig deeper. I will never understand the evil in the world - some people are plain and simple evil personified.
making a mental note to pick up wine this afternoon. Think I am going to need it to go along with my good hard cry tonite.

Thank you ((((Reee)))) for starting this thread.
What an EMOTIONAL PULL little Zahra has had on me. I am sure most of you have heard of my own battle with childhood cancer, chemo, radiation, recurrances, the like....
It is HARD ENOUGH to survive cancer as a child let alone have to endure what she must have. I was lucky enough to have parents that supported me, held me like the fragile egg they thought I was ((((but let me tell you... childhood cancer survivors are HARD EGGS!!! TRUST ME I AM ONE)))) But to know that my parents and everyone else around me treated me as parboiled... that was fine with me. The support overwhelming. I still carry in my purse a piece of a prayer cloth that friends prayed over for me.
I am sick... absolutely SICK that Zahra will never get to exert the strength on the world that she would have gleaned from being a childhood cancer survivor. I am LIVID that someone... a HUMAN BEING (or multiple humans) took this life that she fought for. Her body defied her and she told it off... only to have her ultimate dignity and strength from that survival robbed from her by EVIL!
I will never ever forget this little girl and I want all of her found. Every bit and piece. She deserves AT LEAST THAT.
