Well we passed right by the stop talking to Kenny J as I told him I would be there in moments, we began laughing and it was one of the many times we laugh too hard due to exhaustion and not enough fresh air...most of you know those times if you have been with me on searches or traveling, enough said.
Dan, Gil, Kenny and the Murphy family worked hard to get everyone to this stop, they had an awesome turn out and the press was truly supportive of the tour and the cases. You see Dan and Gil walked in the very same shoes the Murphy's are now forced to endure and they now give back to others by starting Help Save the Next Girl, a program CUE endorses and proudly makes a part of the tour. We all are working together for that effort, Kenny J is one who spear heads the promotional side of this to help as well as a countless list of others.
Alexis Murphy's case is fresh and their are a lot of raw emotions that a family suffers through in those first few days, weeks and months; others that experience this can help because they survived. The one thing I recall when I think of Gil is those very same words she spoke at our national conference and candle light service when addressing the audience, quote....The man who murdered my daughter only gets to hurts us one time, we will survive! I pray for all families of the missing that one day they all can make that same statement.
So you see I'm traveling the path of resolution for families of the missing, the Harrington's are on the path for justice and the Murphy's are on the path to find their daughter, is it a coincidence that we all are on the same journey? No, because the journey of missing individuals is the same road it's just that people are at different mile markers, meaning first the search for the missing, then you need your justice all to get to the final resolution, because their is no closure, just resolution.
I remain empowered by all the thousands of families, wonderful communities and searchers along the way I have meet in my service for those lost, I know deep down my heart will never change and I will remain humble.
