MARCH 16 2006 IS A DATE THAT I WILL
NEVER FORGET. I AWOKE AND A FAMILY MEMBER SEEMED TO HAVE DISAPPEARED. I
WAS FILLED WITH FEAR ANGER AND DREAD . MY BELOVED WIFE AND TWO GRAND
CHILDREN SEARCHED EVERY INCH OF OUR HOME, WE FOUND NOTHING, MY WIFE SAID
THE FAMILY MEMBER WAS GOOD AT HIDING. WE WERE PARALYZED WHEN IT CAME
TO ACTION ,WE DIDN'T CALL 911 OR REPORT OUR FAMILY MEMBER MISSING TO THE
POLICE OR AUTHORITIES , AS THAT WOULD BE OUTSIDE THEIR SCOPE OF
RESPONSIBILITIES . MY WIFE AND I WENT TO OUR BUSINESS AND TO WORK . I FELT
SUCH HELPLESSNESS, ACTION WAS THE ONLY ANSWER, I CALLED A HOMELESS
SHELTER, NO ONE HAD SEEN OUR RELATIVE. WE RAN A FEW SMALL ADS IN THE LOCAL
PAPER, WE WERE NOT SURE HOW TO DESCRIBE OUR FAMILY MEMBER, HEATHER HE WAS
INTELLIGENT, AVERAGE ,CHALLENGED ,WE WERE NOT SURE HOW CAPABLE HE WAS
.MONTHS PASSED EVERY DAY I CALLED THE SHELTER, TWICE I WAS TOLD THEY HAD
SEEN OUR RELATIVE BUT THEY WERE FALSE SIGHTINGS .OUR RELATIVE WAS NON
VERBAL SO ONCE AT THE SHELTER THEY BROUGHT A AN ALMOST DUPLICATE OF OUR
FAMILY MEMBER ,BUT TWO DAYS LATER WE REALIZED THIS WAS NOT OUR RELATIVE
AND RETURNED BILL TO HIS CORRECT RESIDENCE. ALWAYS I SEARCHED FOR OUR LOST
FAMILY MEMBER . LATE AUGUST ,LABOR DAY WE WENT TO CHARLESTON WEST VA. TO
SEE ONE OF MY TWO BEST LIFETIME FRIENDS. I TOLD AL'S WIFE MARY JO ABOUT
OUR LOSS AND THEN I SAID SOMEHOW MARY JO GOD HAS LET ME KNOW IT WILL WORK
OUT . WE RETURNED HOME PUT A HUGE AD IN THE NEWSPAPER, AND SOMEONE 40
MILES AWAY READ IT AND TOLD HER DAUGHTER THAT SHE HAD OUR RELATIVE. SHE
CALLED OUR HOME AND LEFT A PHONE MESSAGE WHICH 8 YEAR RITCHIE RECEIVED .MY
WIFE WAS UNCERTAIN THAT IS A LONG WAY OFF ,ITS DOUBTFUL OUR RELATIVES WAS
THAT MOBILE ,IT SEEMED DOUBTFUL ,NEVER THE LESS SHE CALLED, AND IT BECAME
IMMEDIATELY RELATIVES APPARENT THE WAY OUR RELATIVE WAS DESCRIBED IT COULD
BE HIM. IT WAS SAT SEPT 11 2006, I WAS WORKING MY WIFE AND RITCHIE WERE TO
MEET THE OUT OF TOWNERS AT THE HOSPITAL PARKING LOT. BARB WAS NERVOUS
TWICE SHE THOUGHT IT WAS OUR CONTACT AND IT WASN'T, FINALLY THEY CAME .
THEY WERE HOLDING OUR RELATIVES AND BARB GAVE THEM A LARGE REWARD BECAUSE
IT WAS OUR RELATIVES .SHORTLY I SHOWED UP AND MY JOY WAS EXTREME .I LOVED
THIS RELATIVE SO VERY MUCH BECAUSE HE LOVED ME SO OUTRAGEOUSLY HE HUGGED
THE PHONE WHEN I CALLED, HE CONSTANTLY APPROACHED ME FOR AFFECTION AND
SHAMELESSLY ,I MIGHT ADD, WITH MY WIFE'S APPROVAL SLEPT BRUTAL SAVAGE
PREDATORY RIGHT BESIDE ME. MOST IMPORTANTLY , MY KING , THAT WAS HIS NAME,
DIDN'T DESERVE TO DIE A BRUTAL SAVAGE PREDATORY DEATH IN SOME LONELY
FILTHY WATER PIPE, WHERE THEY HAD FOUND HIM.. KING HAD AN INITIAL LIMP
WHICH HIS DOCTOR FIXED IMMEDIATELY. EVERY DAY WHEN I LOOK AT KING I KNOW
THERE IS HUMANE HIGHER POWER, THAT WAS MY SIGNAL LIFETIME MIRACLE, OH KING
IS A BEAUTIFUL LOVING MALE GRAY PURRING MUCH ADORED CAT. |
