As a mom who has had just a few days experience of what the Bobo's have felt for 3 years now, I can say that they are probably hoping they can learn that Holly did not suffer long. This was my own prayer. If my child was taken and murdered, then my prayer would be that it was quick and they haven't spent time being hungry, cold, abused, injured, assaulted. Its hard to think about - much less talk about - but if someone has talked, I hope they can say that it was over within a few hours time.
My hope for Holly being alive will never leave me...even if we learn today that she is deceased (and I feel she most certainly is), part of the human heart holds out hope of some kind.
