It seems like we are headed for the end of the Search for Haleigh Cummings. It is an end we all feared. It is an end we did not want. Those adults around little Haleigh are starting to cooperate. People are starting to talk.
The police are narrowing down their list of "people of interest." Arrests are forthcoming. The police are searching. They have found items that they say are "part of the case."
Soon there will be a trial and those responsible will answer for what has been done.
Another young life has been taken from us. Another life for us to ponder what has been lost. Could Haleigh gone on to become a Doctor, Scientist, a teacher, perhaps?
We now will never know. There are the grandchildren that will not be. There is a wife that will not be, a mother that will not be.
All this because of those around her. Those charged with the duty to protect her. Those who created her have destroyed her.
Ponder all of this and pray for Little Haleigh and for all those children like her, who have suffered her fate.
May we, through our tears, our heartbreak , strive to find the answers to prevent another child from joining them.
There is a ray of sunshine in this week that is ending. Little Nadia, demonstrated the strength of the young.
She went missing for four days. Suffered the worst the harsh Florida climate has to suffer. She was surrounded by the creatures that children fear, snakes, gators, skeeters, bears, and all sorts of animals that could harm her.
She turned out to be one tough little girl. Stronger than the adults who found her and who were exhausted after only the two hours or so it took to bring her out of the woods, so close to her home.
And once again, it turns out, it was a lone individual, who felt compelled to go, on his own, to search for her.
First it was a meter reader. A man who was drawn to one spot. A man who just knew it was the place to look. A man who ultimately found Caylee. Not law enforcement, Not Texas Equusearch. Just someone driven to find the answer and found the answer he did.
Then it was the salesman. A member of the church Nadia and her family attends. A man who prayed and based on the answers he received from those prayers went straight to Nadia and found her less than a couple of hours after he entered the woods.
Nadia was a miracle. One of too few miracles we have in the world of the missing. We need to savor these miracles as they balance the tragedy of the loss of the other children.
Pray for the children, pray for the sadness of the loss and the miracle of the found. Pray for their protection and pray that the losses will stop.
