Today is a sad day in Charlottesville. Morgan Harringtons body was found yesterday morning on a farm here in Albemarle County. She was last seen at a Metallica concert at JPJ arena. Her parents have been looking for her for a long 3 months. There is still no word about what happened to her or how she got in that field. Her body was found by a land owner.
Being a mother, this hits close to home. I can't imagine going through what her parents have gone through. Not knowing where your daughter is or what happened to her. Raising a child it is always in the back of your mind that something terrible could happen but you never think it could happen to you.
As I put my kids to bed tonight, I will stay in there a little longer. I will think about the mothers and fathers who are searching for their missing children, the mothers and fathers who are visiting their children's graves instead of their bedrooms , and mothers and fathers who are in hospital rooms watching their children suffer senselessly, and screaming inside that they can't handle it anymore. And when I kiss them good night I will hold them a little tighter, a little longer. It is then, that I will thank God for them. I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given.
