talk about a plug.........................

geez bill thank you but that wasnt necessary... staying busy with the rally stuff was a godsend for me , especially the last month or two....it kept me focused and busy instead of spending too much time worrying and making myself crazy............. ( dont say it redneck )

found this online this morning.......its in the kc star paper http://www.kansascity.com/news/breaking_news/story/1317219.html?commentSort=TimeStampAscending&pageNum=1

bringing 1 child age 7

Ok i know we did a poll a while back on the number and ages of the kids who will be there but over time plans change and some cant make it or some may be coming now.....we are trying to finalize some ideas for activity's since our committee lost the ones in charge of that...... it would be real helpful if anyone who is bringing kids would once again make a post in this thread with how many kids and what their age is. Thanks for your help

hey do you all remember that dance they used to do........where you and ur partner stood side by side and you would hit together different body parts like ur hips or butt, or shoulders.?? oh yeah it was called the Bump !!!

i just got a call from the crew in asheville to say congrats........and i want to thank everyone who has called me today.......it means the world to me....... all of you do ! ive found strength here many times......

i agree with you.....but ..it saved my daughter from having to go thru a trial and there have been some murder cases that didnt get this many years... this man is 55 and was not a real healthy being being when he went in and when he he starts living the life he is gonna have while there i dont even look for him to make it out. but then again.he is no longer drinking, hes completely sober and dont it get ya even madder...we are paying for his medical care...so its in Gods hands. I did my part and what i could without jeopardizing my daughters well being and i am at peace with that

well bill i think i have more bumpss than you do......................... :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

since you all were a part of this even tho not here physically I thought id share my statement with you. Its long so bear with me........ How has this affected our lives? It would be much easier to tell you how it hasn’t affected us. This may have been an assault against our daughter but it was also an assault against our entire family’s minds and dignity. It has been a nightmare dealing with all the emotions and pain. It has caused sleeplessness, physical illness, mental stress & loss of income but most importantly is the loss of our daughter’s innocence. A 6 year old experiencing things she has no understanding of. Things she won’t understand for many years yet. We all have scars and have lost our feeling of safety, security and trust. Though our daughter is going thru counseling and doing very well, we have no idea what the future holds when she realizes what this was all about and what a terrible crime was committed against her. What happens 10 years down the road when she has problems because the memories come back? You can’t even imagine the feelings we have had to deal with and how they have affected us individually and as a couple. Depression, anger, confusion, fear and sometimes even guilt. Guilt because we thought she was safe next door. We need to get some counseling also but are focusing on our daughter getting help first. This has brought much confusion and hurt to our daughter also. An adult betrayed her and took advantage of her for his own sick pleasure. She doesn’t understand why she can’t play with his niece anymore, or visit his parents when she didn’t do anything wrong. She feels like she is being punished. She has experienced trouble sleeping, has been very emotional and had some other behavior issues. Our lives will never be the same; we will always carry this pain in us. We will always have to watch our daughter for signs that it is causing problems for her so we can help her. We don’t even feel safe just letting her out in the yard to play any more. This has pretty much destroyed our relationship with his parents also. We used to help his father out with things and they would get our daughter off the bus after school if we needed someone to watch her for a little bit. Having to live right next door and the reminder of what happened in that house is hard, but we can’t afford to move. We are slowly trying to work our way through this and get on with our lives, but it’s almost impossible at times. You never stop remembering it, you never stop feeling angry, and you never stop hurting. I can’t imagine going through anything worse than this, worse than hearing your little girl explain and describe what he did to her…and remembering those pictures in your mind….worse than watching your little girl go through a rape kit and examination at the hospital. Yes she is safe now and we are so lucky she wasn’t one of those children who are abducted or worse yet killed, but in so many ways he did kill…….he killed her innocence, he killed our sense of safety, he killed the normalcy of our lives, and he killed bits and pieces of our sanity. I will not let him kill our souls though, and the way we are fighting that is to make sure he pays for what he did and never has the chance to inflict this pain on another young child or their parents. Does the legal system even realize that the victims are dealing with a death after having these crimes are committed against them? The ante needs to be upped, the punishment needs to be as devastating to these perps as the crime is to the victims. This is only the beginning I’m afraid. Her real pain will come down the road when she is old enough to understand what he did to her. Who is to say when that day will come? In 3 years, 5 years, maybe 10? I have read too many horror stories of the effects on a young girl down the road. This crime didn’t last for 1 night; it is still occurring and will explode in her mind one day and we will relive it all over again like it was yesterday. And where will “he” be when this happens? I do not believe I have ever said this to anyone’s face before but I hate him. And God forgive me for saying this but I hope the time he spends is hard and miserable when the other inmates find out why he is in prison. He needs to suffer like we have. Every time he comes up for parole he will see our faces there doing everything we can to see that he serves as much time as possible. That he can count on.
