I was here when the news broke that little Sylar was missing. I was here when the news broke that his little body had been found by a wonderfully determined gentleman who just couldn't rest till this little man was brought home. I will continue to hold vigil on this thread until justice is served towards whomever caused the tragic demise of this precious baby.
Thank you, Mr. Don N., for your gentle, kind, and ever so grand heart; thank you for being there for little Sylar, for searching tirelessly for him. Thank you for allowing him the dignity of a proper burial after someone so selfishly robbed him of the opportunity to live a rich and fruitful life. I know that Sylar had to have been guiding your footsteps as you wandered through the desert looking for his little body. What you laid witness to surely must not have been easy for you, but your efforts are sure to be richly rewarded--if not in this lifetime, surely in the next. May the knowledge that you brought this baby back from the unknown comfort you as you relive what must have been a very traumatic scene to encounter. My deepest thanks go out to you for being so strong, and strong-willed, that you just couldn't give up on our little Sylar. You will forever be regarded as an angel in my heart, and little Sylar's guardian angel for certain, for being such a compassionate human being.
I wish that I had known little Sylar--I would gladly have raised him as my own, and given him a safe and loving home that he so lacked in his oh so short life. I am so sorry that this story did not have a miraculous and heartwarming ending. The only comfort I have been able to glean from this tragic injustice is that little Sylar will forever know unconditional and everlasting love and he will no longer be suffering at the hands of people too concerned with their own needs than to care about a precious baby.
May you fly with the angels, sweet Sylar, holding hands with each of the other little ones who have crossed these pages here at WS and who were also robbed of their earthly lives. May you always know that while there are those who should have cared for, protected, and loved you but didn't, there are so many more that do love you, and will always keep you in their hearts.
You are safe now, little one.
May you rest in peace, our sweet little Sylar.
