Has anyone written to Casey?

[ShouldBWorking]

ShouldBeWorking,

From what you said I am under the impression that the Lord laid it on your heart to write to Casey. If that is true then you did the right thing. Whether she read the letter or not doesn't matter but I would guess that she did. The Lord had a reason in wanting you to write to Casey. You may never know that reason but you did what He prompted you to do and He will take care of the rest.

these words are pretty much how I explained it to my 21 year old when I asked her to proof it for me, thanks for your kindness

FYI, most jails will not accept mail with no name or return address. The PO Box is a good idea.

I called the jail before sending my letter and they said they would take a letter without a return, I however used a P.O. Box address because I have access to one from work

I say good for you. Your letter was beautifully written and we don't really know what makes KC tick, if there is the slightest chance your letter moved something in her, it was worth it. If nothing else it made her think about what she's doing to her parents and brother. Think about sweet Caylee. I want her to think about Caylee a lot.

I can't work up the hatred so many have for KC. I also can't think of a single thing to say to her aside from 'how could you?' She was given a beautiful gift, a sweet little baby girl. If she chose not to keep this gift she had so many options available.

For her to have discarded Caylee in such a callus method, just tears my heart out. I'd love to be able to make her understand the depravity of what she's done, but I don't think anyone can get through to her. I don't think she cares about anyone but herself. I don't think she's given a single thought about the pain people feel over what she's done, because she doesn't feel that pain, unless it effects her in some negative way.

At this point she doesn't even associate her new living arrangements as a bad thing, she obviously enjoyed all the attention she was getting being in protective custody, she didn't see it as a negative thing at all, just another way of people showing her how special she is.

So now that I've turned this into a rant I'll stop, but again Michelle, "good job". :clap: :clap: :clap:

I wrote her back in August

Dear Casey-

When thinking about writing this letter to you my emotions were like a roller coaster. Why write a letter to a complete stranger sitting in jail? Why care enough about a little girl that I’ve never met to beg her mother to tell the truth? I can’t answer those questions, I just know it was put on my heart day after day and I decided to just do it.

Who is this stranger writing to you? I’m Michell, mother to four, wife to one, daughter to 4 (step parents), sister to six, aunt to 20 (I’m afraid I forgot someone when counting this up), friend to many, loyal servant to One (the Good Lord above). I was a single mom for many many years and made countless mistakes, some bigger than others. My adult children are almost 21 and 18, my youngest here on earth is 9 and I have an infant son in heaven. I could have been such a better mother to my oldest children, but my priorities were not what they should be. I was young, my ex husband walked off and left me with an infant and a two year old and for a short time I think I had a mini-breakdown. I was heart broken, overwhelmed, angry and stayed pissed at the whole world for a long time. With that said I DO NOT judge you for any of your behavior.

Before I go to bed each night I pray to God to soften your heart and let you tell whatever you know about Caylee. Where is she? What happened to her? Why it happened? How it happened? Casey, I believe something happened to Caylee that was an accident. I see the love you had/have for Caylee and I don’t believe you purposely did ANYTHING to hurt Cayley, but I believe an accident happened.

Your family loves you. What a blessing. I have a mother that could give two hoots about me or my children and I wonder if you know what a blessing it is to have parents and a brother who love you. They are going to love you regardless, but have you thought about thier health? I worry about both of them dropping over dead from the stress this has put upon them. Your brother Lee, what a cutie. Don’t make decisions that you can’t undo. Tell your family the truth, let me help you.

I dream about Caylee, do you?

Here is the prayer that I pray daily.

“Dear Lord, only you know what is in our hearts and you know that I have Caylee and the entire Anthony Family on my heart so heavy. Lord please wrap your arms around Casey Anthony and let her know you will make whatever has happened to Caylee bearable. Lord make her know you love her and you forgive her and as long as she has your love and forgiveness she can get through anything. Heavenly Father, I can not imagine the pain and heartache of George, Cindy and Lee lift some of that pain, give them peace. Remind them how much Caylee loved them and the great memories they have of her. Lord please take the guilt away from this family, the should of, would of, could of thoughts they have get rid of them. I ask all of this in your name and stand on faith that this will work out in your time not mine.”

I end this letter with begging you to be honest, pray for forgiveness and give your parents some peace. I pray for you daily and will continue to.

In God’s Love,

Michelle

You are a much better person than I am. Bless you for being able to pray for KC. I'm not sure I am able to do that yet.

 

[azmama]

I agree with everyone else, it was a beautiful and heartfelt letter, good for you.

I have never considered writing to Casey, but I did write a letter to George a couple of months ago, November I think.

It was helpful to me, the case was just weighing on me so heavily, I felt driven to write to him.

 

[eddeva]

Very good point...it is good therapy to write down what you're feeling.

unless it gets you banned and possibly arrested.

 

[RR0004]

But, the letter was good for Lele, whether KC read it or not.

? I didn't see LeLe's letter. Must have missed it.

 

[JaneInOz]

Is it too late to get coal tonight? :boohoo:



Caylee doesn't need our prayers. She is already where she should be and prayers aren't going to make a difference.

Bold mine - how can you say that Caylee is where she should be

 

[RR0004]

Double from me...

LOL...for your eyes only, of course!

I wrote this in response to my original post.

Sorry it was poorly written. I didn't mean she should be dead, I meant that since she's dead prayers aren't going to help her because she's in heaven now and no prayers are going to put her in a better place.

If she was missing then prayers might help to find her but we all know what's happened to her now.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss of a child but that's an extremely different story than Caylee's.

So all I'm saying is that since she's deceased, something unfortunately we had no control over, that she is in heaven now. So because heaven is where she is. She's where she should be.

I guess I'm having a hard time putting my feelings into words.

I also believe that she would be in a very bad situation had she lived. I'm not saying she should have died but that being a part of a family where a mother pushes her daughter up against a wall with her hand at her throat while her grandchild watches and having a mother who cheats, steals, manipulates, lies and most likely abuses her daughter by giving her drugs. Isn't a good place for her to be either.

The best thing for that child would have been to let Casey put her up for adoption. That's child's life would be a much better story because she would have had people who really loved her and this whole thing would have never happened and truly, that's where she should be but she's not.

I think its a shame Cindy didnt keep squeezing but thats just me.

Maybe / Maybe not. Not all adoptions are great. Mine was as in I didn't have psycho killing or neglectful parents but SOME do - so poor sweet Caylee could have been where she is now anyway.

It would have been better for Cindy to take guardianship of Caylee and alllowed Caylee Marie Anthony to remain Caylee Marie Anthony and not remove her identiy - yes I agree.

But hindsight is a wonderful thing isnt it.

And this is all supposing That Casey did this purposely and with malice and forethought - something doesnt sit right with me

 

[PaperDoll]

No, I haven't written to Casey. I was moved by SouldBWorkings letter though. It was well written and very heartfelt.

 

[Tom'sGirl]

The question of this thread is "Has anyone written to Casey?", NOT will you or what would you say, yadayada.

The thread starter said "If so, what did you say?" in her first post.

Bumping my own post, some are going way Off Topic again!

 

[Tom'sGirl]

Thank you PD for staying On Topic :blowkiss:

 

[Brini]

? I didn't see LeLe's letter. Must have missed it.

It was very beautiful.

 

[Lynni]

I haven't written to Casey and I haven't even thought of it. I have considered writing to GA & CA, but didn't do it. I don't know why-I just didn't.

This might be odd, I usually do have urges to write to people convicted of crimes, but I never have. I'm too scared. I guess I feel like they wouldn't be interested in what I have to say and calling attention to myself in that way is very, very scary to me. These are people that are dangerous and con artists. I'm no match for their street smarts.

Jose said in an interview that he was screening her mail. I think it was back when it was rumored Scott P and her were new pen pals.

I doubt he will let anything that isn't positive and supportive get to her.

That's troubling, or at least makes it seem less likely, if such is the case, that KC would be forwarded correspondence urging her to confess. Unless of course since the discovery of Caylee's remains JB is now hoping his client will give up the ZG kidnapping and permit him a real, viable defense. JMO

If the mail's sent to the jail, how can he pre-screen the mail? I wouldn't think the jail would give it to him, but I could be wrong.
