The only hard part about helping with the search was realizing that I was looking for a body. But even if I hadn't known her, the simple fact that an 8 month pregnant woman was missing in an area I grew up in and knew well would have caused me to volunteer. The fact that I'd known her just drove the point home.

It's honestly hard to describe my feelings about this whole thing. I'm sad and angry that anyone would hurt any pregnant woman, and the fact that her husband did it just sickens me. Still, it's been over 12 years since I had any feelings toward her, and over 10 years since we've spoken, so it's all distant enough to keep it from hurting too badly. The sense of loss is still there though, knowing that a good and honest person has lost her life to a person she should have been able to trust.

Every night, I hug my wife and children a little tighter, and a little longer than I used to.

I think a lot of us do this...

If we could only create a bubble to keep our loved ones in.. to protect them from the evil world. I just don't understand why good people have to suffer..I never will understand it.
