First order of buisness, Happy Birthday to my sweet daughter! She really is sweet. We have not counted the numbers yet but I think we will donate over $1,000 to the Ronald McDonald House in Spokane.
Secondly, I have felt guilty blogging the last number of days because if the woman who was missing and now found dead. I not only feel guilty for what happened but feel guilty for being so emotional about the situation. It’s not like I know her or SUAR,like I’m being dramatic. But it just makes me sick. Of course we think, “it could have been me or my cousin or friend.” I know terrible things happen, but Jesus Christ for something so thought out, malicious and terrifying is disgusting. Yes there is more good in the world but I don’t really know if it equals out the bad. I’m angry, I’m sad, I’m guilt ridden, and paranoid. Not a good way to live when blessed with life.
SUAR is one of the first blogs I started reading about 2 years(?) ago so maybe that’s why I’m thinking about this more. I don’t know. It really doesn’t matter. Please know I sent all my good thoughts Eastward and will continue to do so. Those families will never be the same. I’m so so very sorry.
You don’t need to feel guilty about all of this! It hits too close to home for all of us and feels personal to us all. I DO have the pleasure of knowing Beth and I know that she would appreciate your sentiments.
I just have to say, your daughter is freaking gorgeous! I want to eat her up!
