As the 1st annv of Caylee's death approaches, it has made me personally reflect on many things regarding what this case, what Caylee's death has meant to so many who never knew her.
I realized a year ago, we had never heard of her, didn't know this little angel would become such a part of our lives & for many of us, change it. For me, it meant getting involved with TES & becoming even more comitted to the protection of children.
We all need to make sure Caylee & all our other murdered children have not died without us all learning a lesson from it. We all need to keep our eyes open, pay attention to the children around us, in our class rooms, our dance classes or scout troops & to know our gut feelings will rarely lead us in the wrong direction. It is so easy to not get involved when you know a child is being hurt or neglected, it's much easier to close your eyes & heart to it all, but we can't. We must take the painful step to follow our hearts to take whatever steps are necessary to save a child.
There is no greater gift God can bestow upon us than children. No child should know the horror of being raped, beaten or looking up into their mothers eyes as she kills them. They shouldn't ever see any killer's eyes. I so wish Caylee & all our other murdered children were doing what God intended them to do as children, chase butterflies, catch fireflys on a summer night, see their first rainbow, dig their toes in the mud after a warm summer rain.
I hope Caylee's death has opened all our eyes. Get involved in any way you can to make sure children are safe, volunteer at school, get involved with scouts, be the home your children & their friends want to be at, a safe harbor. I hope her death has made all of us open our eyes to see that very ugly things do happen in what we think is a nice, safe family.
We've come full circle with TES being back in the Orlando area for yet another search. Even though it's not a child, it is still someone's daughter, someone's friend, someone important who still had a lot to give. I plan to mark Caylee's annv by not only praying for her but by also donating again to TES. I find it heart breaking that every day there are so many people who are missing, so many famlies praying for help. As long as Tim MIller continues to have a heart as big as the whole world, I plan to continue to do whatever small part I can do to help TES continue their work. I hope, despite how rough things are for each of us, we can all find a way to honor Caylee & all those who are missing, as well as honor Tim, with however much we can.
I know Caylee is in heaven chasing her butterflies & in a world filled with love. I know Caylee knows we love her, will never forget her & that we have all learned many lessons from her death.
God bless everyone for caring, doing their part & esp thanks to all who searched for her or donated to the cause.
