I finally decided to stop lurking and join you all- the wait is driving me crazy, and who better to wait with then fellow Caylee fans?
My heart is heavy tonight...not only for Caylee, but George as well. I didn't really have an opinion on the other Anthonys going into trial- I didn't know them. Coming out, I see what Casey's lies and actions have done not only to baby Caylee but to the family she left behind as well. Not only did George lose his much loved granddaughter- he believed for a time that she was alive, only to eventually put 2 and 2 together and realize that not only was she dead, but Casey had done it. Casey, whose mothering he had questioned. To top it all off, Casey's defense lawyer calls him an incestuous child molester who is partly to blame for Caylee's death in what is arguably the most publicized trial in years. How this man could sit there yesterday and listen to JB slander his name and his memories of Caylee without so much as a head shake- how? How can one man go through so much?
I'm not saying the Anthonys are perfect- far from it. But I can only imagine my own family going through a circus like this and we wouldn't smell like roses either. And of course I am just sick and horrified every day for what happened to Caylee. I see the pictures of her with a play kitchen, wearing dress up clothes, and I know who provided her with those things. And I thank God George and Cindy, imperfect as they may be, gave that baby happiness and a life Casey didn't care to provide.
Sorry, this is neither here nor there. Not exactly timely, either! But these are the thoughts that have been weighing on my mind and no one around me gets it. I just hope and pray the jury makes the right decision.
