Eight year old Victoria Stafford is never coming home. Her Mommy and Daddy never again get to hold her, hug her and kiss her good night. The Police in Woodstock are dragging the bottoms of lakes and combing fields and woods trying to find the body of that innocent child. Senseless.

Suddenly my stresses, my worries..I have none.
Thank God for my two healthy, happy children and my tight knit little family of four.
I love everything about my crazy little life right here in Suburbia.

Go hug your babies.
God Bless that little Girl’s family.

    1. It’s so true, tragic news for someone else puts things in perspective. I hadn’t heard of that story but I think of Tyson’s 4yr old. How heartbreaking.

      Thanks for your visits!!!

    3. Occurences such as this scare the life out of me. And make me wonder what kind of people live in this world right along side us.
      All of our little worries are nothing; thanks for reminding me.

    4. Wow – thank you for the much-needed wake-up call, I was just having what I THOUGHT was a stressful day. I have been corrected. Glad I stopped by your blog, thanks for dropping by mine!
