i turned around and you were gone…………we reported you as missing…………they took the report with little concern and less hope for your return………into the night we continued to search………….we had to find you………..you wouldn’t have found us and prayers were prayed and we called for you even though you hearing was poor at best……….virtually blind we knew you had little chance of making it through a cold night of rain in the deep woods…………..hyperthermia or worse……..dinner……..

we failed you…………..you were left to our care and up until then you have been pampered and loved………….but we let our guard down for 15 minutes and that sealed your fate……..

it will be hard to tell your Mother and Father but it is what it is……………and when you get to heaven……….after this part of the journey. i hope you will hear our prayers……….asking for forgiveness………………………..
