October 24, 2006 Family Letter
Today marks 9 months to the day Jennifer was ABDUCTED and her personal **** began! The love we have for Jennifer is unconditional, stronger than ever and will never leave us. The heartache we experience everyday she has been gone grows with great pain. The pain we endure is nothing compared to that which Jennifer is enduring which gives us the strength we need to continue our fight to find her. Our lives, as we knew it, stopped that day, January 24, 2006 and we entered into a different world we hope no other family ever has to endure. To this day we hold great HOPE that Jennifer will be found alive and a true MIRACLE will have occurred. The support that has been given to her and our family from, friends, volunteers, the Orlando and Orange County civic leaders, other county and state officials, the media, all law enforcement involved and strangers from around the country and world is humbling to us. It is almost as if everyone knows just how special of a person Jennifer really is. We thank all of you for caring and giving of yourselves in helping Jennifer during her time of need.
We will continue in every way we know how to keep the awareness of Jennifers abduction high and in the minds of the public. We know that someone somewhere knows what has happened to her and it will take only one person to step forward with the proper information for Jennifers journey in **** to end! We hope you too will continue to keep the awareness of her abduction alive. Awareness is the key, without it we will have failed her and that is not an option! So, we ask you to continue to print fliers from this website and place them anywhere you feel they will be seen. Continue to pass on her website to all in your address books and ask them to read about her abduction and pass it on to all they know and so on, even if you have done it before, it has been extremely effective for awareness.
At the risk of sounding like we are preaching or perfect people, which we are not by far, we need to talk about and teach personal safety to everyone in our families regardless of age. Teach and practice personal and community responsibility. Be active in our communities so they may enrich our lives and generations to come. Simply put, teach the difference between right and wrong, good and bad. We feel it is the responsibility of every parent or guardian to do this. Young people need parents and authority figures to set standards and limitations of acceptable behavior. They need to hear the word NO at times and why. They need tough love at times. They need to be taught how to be a productive positive part of our society. They need parents to lead them and guide them through life. Children need to be educated to learn what is expected of them, they are not born with this knowledge, it is taught and learned. Parents need not be their childs friend, our children need to be loved and taught how to be good people. They need to know they can make mistakes, you will still love them, but there are consequences to their actions both good and bad. We need to teach people they must speak up when they see a wrong otherwise what good are we as a community and society. If we choose not to be responsible and teach our younger generation values we believe in, our society as we know it will slowly disappear into lawlessness and we will live in fear as many countries do around the world today.
Heroes
Finally, we would like to talk about Heroes. We, as a society, seem to be confused as to who our heroes really are. Today, if asked, most of our younger generation would probably answer with sports figures, entertainers or people of great wealth. These are hero want to bes in our eyes. The real heroes, we have come to find out, are people in professions not held in high esteem. To us, our heroes are Police, Fire Fighters, Teachers, Military personnel and Parents/Guardians. If we really think about it, these people make modest livings while having the biggest effect on our safety and development as a society. Most people dont realize how often these people put their lives on the line for us and the community we live and work in.
We have slowly, somehow, been brainwashed that these professions are our enemies.
That police are not there to help us keep law and order but to harass us.
That our military is fighting an unjust cause which is Our Freedom and our way of life.
That our teachers are babysitters and cant teach our children.
None of these jobs can be done effectively if we do not teach our children to give them the respect they deserve.
Fire Fighters seem to get the most respect but they are not really seen as heroes. These professions give up more in their lives everyday than 10 ordinary people. They give up family time to make sure we are safe or learning so we may grow as a person and community. They risk death almost everyday, yes, even teachers as we have learned over the past few weeks of tragedies in our schools. They give up chances to make more money, because they feel they have more impact on our society in what they do. They are our public servants who ultimately chose to serve you and not worry only about themselves and their families. Lastly, Parents/Guardians, not all of us, but the ones who realize the responsibility they chose to take on when bringing a life into our world. The parents who will sacrifice to insure they are there for their children, to be their childs ultimate teacher in life and take responsibility for their childs actions. Parents who show unconditional love to their children. Parenting is by far the hardest and most thankless job in the world yet most satisfying when we choose to be part of our childrens lives. We ask you to rethink who your heroes are and to let them know by actions not just words. Hold them in the highest esteem and respect!
Again, we thank everyone who has helped in the fight to find Jennifer or who simply cares!
Sincerely,
Drew & Joyce Kesse, Logan Kesse and Rob Allen
