Last night, Samantha Runnion's lovely Mother was on Larry King. The contrast between this woman and Brenda (and Damon) was glaring.

"Mantha's" Mom was the picture of someone who is suffering so much pain, that to let it all out, would kill her. But it was there..on her face, in her speech, in her demeanor..and her SOUL shined thru all of it. She was the total picture of grief. Watching this beautiful lady, I couldn't help but think how lucky Samantha was to have had HER for her Mother, albeit so briefly.

"Mantha's" mother does not want to look at the man who did this to her daughter, and will do what the LE wants her to do, concerning attendance at the trial. She doesn't blame her Mother, she only wants the word out that we should pay more attention to little children when they say they have been sexually molested. I could go on and on.

TODAY is Samantha's birthday,and her Mother had the Party already planned. She is having the little girls friends over for one LAST birthday party..and I could just cry.

"Happy Birthday Mantha"...may you always live in our hearts.

I saw Larry King, too. Erin Runnion is an amazing person. I agree with all that you said.

I have a video of my 22 year old daughter's 6th birthday. It was a heartbreaking interview.

Yes, what a contrast from when the VDs were on Larry wouldn't ya say? I remember when Danielle was still missing, they were on Larry cool as cucumbers. Of all things Lar' asked if they had any regrets about that night and the answer was NO. BVD said she wouldn't change a thing about that night. Gosh, can't beleive she didn't say "wish I had locked the door, stayed home, checked on the kids etc.." They are just pieces of crap in my opinion.

That is so sad sw. I saw a bit of her funeral, and what struck me the most was when mom said (and I paraphrase here), that it was so ironic that her (Samantha's) greatness had come as a result of her death.

I cannot imagine what it would be like to lose a child. Parents should go first. Even when my own mother passed away at age 61, her mother, who was still alive, said that. She died a little more than a year later, never really recovering from my own mother's death.
