2017 - 8th Anniversary ![]() "birthday cards displayed on shelf in Lea's home the day of her tragic disappearance" ![]() To Lea Our Precious Child Forever It has been 8 years and our heart continues to cry out for you every day since we last saw you. How can we explain a love like that? The last day we saw you it was only for a brief moment, you were in and out of the house too fast to have a conversation. How I wish that moment could of lasted longer and we talked more. You left the house around 2 o'clock, and then we received that horrible phone call at 6 o'clock. You were gone forever. In the blink of an eye you disappeared from our lives in an unexplainable way that took you so quickly that we are still trying to under-stand and cope with your loss. Trying to understand the impossible truth of it all. There are no answers, only questions. Our struggles are unsurmountable. The whole family is devastated. One day we will get the answers we are waiting for but now we have to find strength in believing that one day all of our questions will be answered. We miss you so much and feel your presence near us all the time. Our heart aches for you to be by our side. This yearning to be with you is our great love story that is bigger than us. It is the vastness not of this world but the incredible mystery that we cannot comprehend here on earth. We are waiting graciously to follow the path of our lives, so this way, we will connect to you and continue to love you in a dimension that is not of this world. This dimension is greater than ourselves, it is a dimension greater than anything on this earth. We are waiting for the moment we will be together again. That will be the reward. It will feel like the video we all cried to when after many years, Christian the Lion is reunited with his original owner. You were the one who sent it to me and daddy. I clearly remember how we all cried watching their reunion. I believe our patience and our beliefs will bring overwhelming joy. Our goal is for us to reach the stars with happiness when we finally are with you again. Waiting for this dream is our life long struggle. We know you miss us just as much as we miss you. We love you so much. We send you all our love and affection and pray everyday that you are happy and fulfilled.
