A walk in the woods

It wasn't our ordinary Sunday, when Marc suggested that we go join Texas Equisearch, in our area of town, and help search for Caylee Anthony. Caylee is a 3 yr old girl, who has been missing since June 15th. This event has captivated our hearts. (If you check out this story, you will see that truth is stranger than fiction.)
So , I volunteered to help distributed water and food to 500 volunteers, while Marcus went with a team of searchers wading thru thicket and woods, to no avail. (people fear that the alligators may have had their way)
I met several people that came from all over America, just wanting to give this child her resting place.
As food was delivered from Quizno's and Pizza Inn, I realized that it was funded by caring people from all across our country. Some local people drove up, and offered bottled water.

So, it wasn't our typical Sunday service...but a service of united people, sharing a heart of love for a child, lost but not alone.

That was a beautiful post mom. Sorry it was over something so tragic. But I'm glad that you were able to help out. I'm sure it means so much to the family.

Thanks, Myra...the family has ignored all evidence and is not in favor of searching for someone who they want to be alive. The grandfather said that if he went there...he would have to lose both his daughter and grand daughter.

That's really cool! I hope that they find her or truth comes out soon.
