Just checking in with my people here. I found one of her teachers on a certain social media site and the update she wrote destroyed me.
I don't know if it's how close it is to where I live, her age, or what I've learned about this child, but I just can't move on from it. I know my feelings are but a grain of sand in comparison to those close to her, especially her grandmother and mother.
She looks so much like my 2nd daughter it makes my stomach turn when I see her photo. My 4 year old hurt herself yesterday and cried out loudly in pain. She almost never cries like that and it startled me enough that I dropped what I was holding and for some reason thought of Faye's last moments. My stomach lurched.
The absolute horror of what this precious baby likely endured will not leave me. I want to wrap my mother arms around her mother and hold her so tight. I hope she has people holding onto her 24/7. I hate this so much.
I understand why people want things like the 911 call and autopsy results to be private. No one is rejoicing in this family's pain. But not talking about it is shoving the evil things that happened to Faye Swetlik under the rug. Because it's really hard. It's uncomfortable. It's awful. Well this hard, awful, uncomfortable thing should not be the family's burden alone. And while I don't think this is LEs motivation, from the perspective of humanity, we should all bear the burden of this truth, so we can all do better and be better.
So eloquently put. It takes a village to look out for one another and we all should carry the family's pain so that we can do better. The motorcade and tow truckcade tore me up. I am so sad today. That is not like me. I don't even want to listen to the 911 call.
