Rest in Peace Little Zahra

[Fyrecat]

"When you came into this world, you cried and everyone laughed. You lived your life in such a way that when you left, everyone cried'.

Cherokee saying

Zahra, I'm so sorry for all the pain you suffered, and all those who let you down. I don't understand it. I hope that you're dancing across the stars, riding your bike past the Milky Way, and meeting all those you love on that Other Path.

I know somewhere out there, something must come of this to change things for you and others who have no voice....let us find a way to put things in place so things like this won't happen again.

lots of love,
Fyre, Tiger, and the Furkids

On the 35th day of the search for Zahra Baker, Hickory police Chief Tom Adkins stood before television cameras on Friday and made a tearful announcement.

"I've been dreading this moment," Adkins said. Authorities have found enough evidence, he said, to prove the child is dead.

"Investigators, agents, and officers who worked on this case are devastated that they could not find Zahra alive and bring her home safely," he said.

Adkins, who has overseen the investigation since the freckled 10-year-old with the wide smile was reported missing last month, said DNA taken from a child's bone discovered last week on Christy Road in Caldwell County matched a DNA sample taken from Zahra's belongings at her house.

Additional human remains found along a creek five miles away are consistent with those of a child, he said. Those remains will be sent to the State Bureau of Investigation lab for positive identification.

Dear Sweet Zahra....

God bless you and keep you.

You are such an intelligent, sweet young lady. Such a bright, bright light!

I know you will be such a big help looking after the littler ones who are there with you...Caylee and Sandra and Samantha and all the other children who were killed by the worst of humanity.

Rest in peace sweet Zahra...we will never forget you and are all praying for justice!

Oh Zahra - what a beautiful girl you are!

Where you are, you know you know that your Mum was looking for you and wanted you, and you know how many people's lives you have touched, and you know how very special you were and are...and most importantly, you know that you're safe and will never be hurt again.

I know you will watch over your Mum, and help her find comfort. Rest in peace, darling.

Rest in peace now Zahra. Your beautiful and courageous light will shine forever in our hearts. :rose:

I am not normally one for big outward displays of emotion at all. As a matter of fact, my SO hasn't seen me cry in over six years together. That said, this case is really getting to me. I hope my words are clear.

Zahra was TEN YEARS OLD, for Christ's sake. She was innocent and defenseless and so deserving of a loving family and a happy childhood. What bothers me the most is that one selfish person* was able to take her away from all of the people who loved her and wanted her, and now they have to live without her for the rest of their lives. That's a lot of power for a single person to wield. It's unfair, and it sucks.

Rest in peace, sweet Zahra. Your suffering breaks my heart, and I'm sorry that you had to experience it. YOU ARE LOVED!

*Yes, I am aware that there are two suspects in this case, but you know what I mean.

I think I need to step away from this case for a while. Sometimes it's difficult to remember that there is good in the world. Love to all of you.

I hope I'm in the right place for this post.
I am SAR in NC. And Zahra's case has me a bit broken.

A friend sent me this song today (I love music) and it hit home.
So this is my 'letter' to those who hurt Zahra so terribly. Signed, Zahra

I hope all understand my sentiment here.
No one should have the right to do what was done to this child.
No one.

Zahra- you will forever shine in my heart. You were so strong, you knew the ice and you knew who you were.

You will be in my last breath, Zahra. I will never, ever forget you or who you were, despite never knowing you alive.
