GONE HOME- Saying Good bye to Caylee Anthony

The only comfort is in knowing she is not in pain or fear. This is a beautiful, heart wrenching write. I don't know how you were able to do it. I couldn't.

thats beautiful!

I wasn't at all surprised that a body was finally found, but of course, very saddened. I had a niggling hope that maybe Casey had sold her to someone on the internet or something. Then when the news came out that Casey's computer had googled words like "chloroform" and "neck breaking," it was pretty obvious that Casey wasn't with us anymore.

Lisa- I have cried for days over this, I simply had to write about it. Thank You!

DN- Thank You!

I know vicky- we all knew. I am so angry about this and so saddened !! I just can't believe this woman who is simply scum now has the best legal team money could buy. I am sick about it!

i just hope she didnt suffer any pain the poor angel

Me too- missy

Thank You Candy

This is absolutely, totally unthinkable... how one could even imagine raising a hand on a sweet defenseless little girl, much less killing her?... I wonder WHAT kind of devil in a human form is capable for that?

A great poetic tribute, dear April... no consolation, alas and alas.

Blessings and best wishes - S.

That poor darling....thank you for putting this into a poem for her, Apryl.

That's beautifully written, Apryl

Lovely poem Apryl. We've been watching the unfolding story...

I find myself watching less and less "news items" because of situations has horrific as a child being murdered but it is a sad reality that has happened. May she rest in peace, finally. I can not imagine her short life being charmed even before her tragic death.

It reminds me of the backdrop of the book The Shack, if you haven't read it, pick it up and embrace the loving messages that the author crafted so well.

Apryl, you surely found a gentle way to say goodbye to Caylee.

That was very beautiful! =) =)

Thank you for putting this tragedy into such sensitive words so that we can reflect on it and pour out our emotions.

oh Apryl... what a special poem for our little Caylee... she is with God and at peace...
i've cried many days too over this...
thank you for writing this poem...
take it easy sweetie... love and hugs...

That's a beautiful poem, Apryl. This breaks my heart.

Bob- Mine Too! Thank You

Necee- Blessings dear friend and Love and Hugs to you!

John- Shortly after I posted this I told my husband that maybe others were like me and needed a place to grieve and to put our thoughts down. Thank You for coming by.
Blessings

Cyndi- Thank You

Claudia- I suspect her little life was very confusing and always in an uproar. I think the dysfunction in that home was off the charts. I will check out the book, Thank you so much for coming by. You inspired me to change the title of this piece.

Katherine, Katrina and Marianne- Thank You !!

Svetlana- Devil is an accurate description! I can't imagine what evil would possess a person to commit this awful, hideous act. I don't want to understand. Thank You so much for coming here today.

sad

You did this well Apryl. You were able to covey it without becoming maudlin which was a difficult task. Merry Christmas.

It truely is pure EVIL that could do this horrible thing to a child, Apryl...Why didn't the mother just give Caylee to someone? To get where she was found, that woman had to have passed within a mile of my house....it makes me ill, it makes me want to do unto...

Peter- Yes, it is

Liz- Thank You. Merry Christmas!

Penni- That's exactly what I thought; why didn't she just give her to someone? This woman is a monster!

Thanks for sharing this heartfelt poem. She planned all to end her daughter's life? How evil....she is extremely selfish and definately a troubled young woman.

Apryl, knowing you as I do, I know that you are very sincere in your feelings, and I do not at all mean to diparage or undermine those feelings. I do wish you would reconsider how you feel about the mother, though. Though her actions were barbaric, someone doesn't just suddenly decide to plan a murder of her child. This woman had to have displayed a mentally disturbed demeanor long before this murder. I hold accountable the people who were around the situation who ignored her behavior more than I hold her accountable. I just don't think someone could do something like this in anything resembling a sane mindframe. The mother had to have been mentally tormented beyond the imagination to even consider doing this. She had to have also shown abuse to this child before this ultimately abusive deed. Who witnessed this behavior and did nothing about it? The people who did are more guilty of this child's demise than she is, as I see it.

very sad

So very sad.

Very well done, Apryl.

I got chills as I read your beautiful words, Apryl. This is lovely. A beautiful tribute to a beautiful little angel.

Beautiful, Apryl.

That is beautiful.
