My thought for the day.
You know how when someone close to you dies near a holiday/birthday/ etc. and you always associate that particular date w/ that person's death? (if that's ever happened to any of you)
Well, poor Beth. Since Natalee went missing, she's spent Memorial Day, her birthday, the 4th of July and now her anniversary, trying to find her daughter. I hate that every year when these 4 events roll around, she'll unfortunately probably remember exactly where she was and what she was doing on each of those days.
It's a good reminder to be thankful for what we do have.
If Nat is dead, her Mother will think of her every day until she no longer lives. The people I know who lost children never recover. They just don't. It is sad.
This reminds me of when people are being held hostage. At some point the relatives want it over, they want something done even if there is grave risk because they can no longer tolerate not knowing.
At some level we all want it over, some ending even if it is terrible. I wonder what is worse, never knowing, never finding a body or knowing. Either is hell.
We should be grateful for not being in Beth and Dave's place.
my nephew was killed on my birthday......so from now on, it will be a very low key birthday for me....
