Parents of Morgan Harrington hopeful this Thanksgiving
November 25, 2009
<snipped>
The Harrington's son is coming to Virginia from New York City for Thanksgiving and the family will have dinner with close family friends.
A place Gil Harrington says they always spend the holiday.
"We're always there. It'll be strange not to have Morgan home if she doesn't make it home by Thanksgiving, but that is really our place of celebration and marking that holiday, we'll be there," says Gil Harrington.

Harrington's Spend Thanksgiving in Cville

Dan and Gil Harrington and their son spent part of Thanksgiving morning visiting a makeshift memorial on the Copeley Road bridge near the John Paul Jones Arena.
"There's something of her here. There's nothing of her in our home, and we're trying to change that," said Gil.
The Harrington's added a bright red sign to the memorial. It simply said "HOPE". They admit that hope is fading as their daughter's disappearance drags on.
"There's hopefulness, and then there's being Pollyanna," said Gil.
"We realize the statistics are not great, and they get worse." Dan said, "you have to mourn as well as hold out hope."
The parents are facing their worst nightmare as time goes on. They've given DNA to police to help identify a body - if one is found. They're also making a plea for tips to keep coming to investigators.

Family Visits Makeshift Memorial for Missing Student

It's a sad Thanksgiving for relatives of a missing Virginia tech student, but Morgan Harrington's family is convinced someone knows where she is.
Her family visited the "memorial" to their daughter in Charlottesville even though they don't know whether she is alive or dead. They added ornaments and mementos. They also tied a yellow ribbon, the symbol for "welcome home."
The Harringtons have come to a bridge in Charlottesville because it is the last place Morgan was seen before her disappearance. They say to be in this place to breath the air Morgan breathed allows them to be close to her in some way.
"I know dogs smelling on this bridge can smell her so there is something of her here. There is nothing of her in our home," shared Gil Harrington.

Gil says, "End this immense suffering that we are feeling. Please."
The family has a tradition of going to Charlottesville for Thanksgiving every year.
However, this year, they placed flowers and knick knacks on the bridge where Morgan was last seen.

The parents of missing Virginia Tech student, Morgan Harrington, spend their first Thanksgiving without their daughter.
"There's hopefulness, and then there's being Pollyanna. We realize the statistics are not great, and they get worse. You have to mourn as well as hold out hope," says Morgan's Mom Gil Harrington.
Friends in Charlottesville invited the Harrington's, and their son to Thanksgiving dinner.
Before sitting down to a supper table with one empty chair, they stopped at the Copeley Road Bridge where investigators say the 20 year old was last seen trying to hitch a ride from a Metallica concert.
