I'm extremely touched by Kelsey's body being found. It brought me to tears. It almost always happens to me when I see someone missing on the news. 90% of the time, missing leads to murdered. Even so, you still hope, you still pray...
I cannot blame Edwin Hall just yet. After all, justice is justice and I want the system to make absolutely sure that he's the one who did this to her.
In the mean time, I didn't know her but I care for her and grieve for her woman to woman, knowing that something like this is a great fear of any woman. She was so beautiful and she had a whole lot of life left to leave. I wonder about her and what she was thinking when that man grabbed her like that. Kelsey, I'm so sorry. I know the moments must have felt as if they lasted years until the last one before time was done. I just feel so sorry for her. It brings to mind a song by Natalie Merchant:
"young and beautiful one that we embrace so close is gone, was torn away...
Let the youth of America mourn. Include her in their prayers.
Let her image linger on, repeated everywhere...
With Candles with flowers, she was one of ours...
I saw cameras expose your life.
I saw children in tears, crying and crowding around the site
of where you had collapsed that day.
Where your last breath and word had been sighed.
We mourn the loss, the way you have died, the way you have died. The way you have died.
It was so such a nightmare, grieving all half believing you are gone.
The loss and shame of it, the crime and the pain of it, you are gone..."
