We are all so happy about Abby coming home and it feels great doesn't it? Over the months of discussions I feel like I have met some of the most wonderful and caring people (yes, all of you). I wanted to tell you that finding WS for me happened when I searched for Abigail Hernandez. I never knew about WS but I became fascinated with all of your efforts! I joined. Each person seemed to contribute bits and pieces and really tried their hardest to figure out where Abby was. It prompted me to comb over maps, look through what ads were running in local papers, do reverse phone number searches, and all kinds of crazy things in hopes of finding maybe one helpful thing. I thought I found something. I even gave the FBI a tip just on the long shot that it might be useful. Something I never imagined myself ever doing. Mailing out fliers all across the country became my Sunday evening ritual. I always remained hopeful that Abby was alive! Not knowing for sure made my heart heavy at times especially when I thought about ZH and the sleepless night. Something told me that Abby was out there and that she would be found! I have prayed more for her than I have ever prayed for anything. Her disappearance opened my eyes to some alarming facts. There are so many young girls Abby's age that are missing. I just want to Thank each and every person who cared enough to look for Abby. It takes amazing people to invest the time and energy to search and to care. I hope that Abby lives a long and happy life and that she learns to drive, goes to prom, gets to live in a dorm someday at a college that she wants to go to and do all of the things that we hope for all of our own children. Abby you are loved more than you will ever know. Never forget that for a minute. God is good and the news that you are home safe made many of us cry tears of joy. I plan to continue trying to help other people search for their children. Savannah Puccio is where I will be focusing my efforts now that Abby is home. I send a huge hug to Abby and to all of the people who love her and I say give them their space. I hope that she is welcomed home with open arms and huge caring hearts and kind words. Never in my life have I been so relieved and happy.
