In fact, I was just thinking about Morgan yesterday and looking for updated information on her case. This is not what I wanted to find.
God bless Morgan's sweet family. When I think back to some of the chances I took when drinking at her age, I realize it could have been me very easily. I am sorry this happened to Morgan. Poor sweetheart. May she rest in peace.

Damn...
Yeah, I was really hoping for a different outcome. Easily could have been me...
I am sorry.
Oh, SB, whenever someone goes missing, especially a female, I always assume the worst. I spent a few years reading every true crime book on the shelves in the library, after I'd read myself silly over Vietnam and WWII, and I ended up going back to the war books, they were easier to take. I don't know what it is about my personality that makes me want to read about these things, as they are almost too horrible to know. If I'd had a clue I'd be reproducing, I'd have preferred a little ignorance about the human monsters in the world. Hindsight.
I'm so sorry for the outcome of this missing person, and saying that at least the family has closure is ridiculous in the face of the grief they'll carry.
The one that almost broke me was the girl abducted in Maryland 2 days before Christmas. Repeat fucking offender, scum of the earth pedophile, I knew in my heart she was gone the day she went missing. I had to read everything about the case, and spent a long time looking at the pictures of both the beautiful little girl and the waste of human life that killed her. It's times like these when I fall back into my time to cull the herd, or time to bring back public stonings mentality. I'd be the first to throw a rock, that's for sure.
So, we both have too much empathy and are incapable of turning away from the news, the truth, the things people do to each other, eh?
It's a wonder we're not more bitter. Well, maybe I am bitter, and a little obsessed with books like Gavin Debeckers The Gift of Fear - trying to make sure the creeps don't get me or mine. Stay safe, it's a crazy world......
I took some wicked chances drinking when I was 14 (like hitchhiking at 2 am). Poor kid.
What a beautiful girl .. How very sad x
Syd,
Me too.
Mel,
Don't know why I read true crime either. I am already fully convinced that the world is a dangerous place. It just makes me more paranoid and depresses me and saddens me.
Love you.
We are masochists, empaths and realists, maybe.
Love you too,
Mel
