One year and still waiting...........

Yesterday marked the one year anniversary since Jennifer disappeared. One year of 3 children not knowing where their mother is, or what has happened to her. One year of them possibly thinking that their mother did not love them enough to stay with them. One year of questions that have yet to be answered.

I have personally talked to people that have known Jennifer for many years. Every single one of them have told me that they know for a fact, that her children were the most important thing in her life and that she would have never willingly just walked away from them. Every single one of them have told me that she loved her children more than life itself. Every single one of them have told me that Jennifer personally told them just how unhappy she was in her marriage.

If Jennifer has told so many people the same thing at different times, it is impossible that they are all lying. They could not have possibly gotten together and said,"OK, if anyone asks this is what we say.". Why is this so impossible? Because some of these people do not even know each other personally.

Someone very close to Jennifer knows what has happened to her. Someone very close to Jennifer knows exactly where she is. Someone very close to Jennifer knows that she did not just get up in the middle of the night and walk away from her home and children, leaving her medications, her wallet containing all of her personal identification, her cigarettes and Heaven only knows what other personal items. Someone very close to Jennifer has to live every day with the fact that they are holding this information inside. They have to live with the fact that her children are suffering on a daily basis. They have to live with the fact, that no matter what they may do, her children are NEVER going to forget their mother and they are never going to stop wondering where she is and what has happened to her.

Jennifer's children will someday be adults. When they become adults, who is to say that they are not going to wage an all out investigation into their mother's disappearance? What is going to happen when they find out what did happen to her? Does the person holding the information that they need, think that they will be forgiven for taking the one person away from them that they so desperately needed while they were growing up? Do they think that they will be forgiven for taking Jennifer from her children's graduations, weddings and the birth of their children......her grandchildren?

I for one, hope that Jennifer's face and voice haunts the person that has taken her from her children. I hope that her face and voice haunts them at every turn, whether they be sleeping, working, playing, taking a shower, or whatever else they may do throughout their day. I hope that Jennifer's face and voice haunts them for the remainder of their days on this earth. Do they think that God will show them more mercy than they showed to Jennifer, when they stand before Him on their day of judgment? They really need to think about that...........

Jennifer, you may be gone......but you will never be forgotten.
