Without a doubt, you have heard the breaking news rocking America & possibly beyond – Casey Anthony, acquitted of murdering her little girl.
We could sit & argue for hours over whether or not Casey murdered her little girl. We could rip apart her life & choices & the jury & defending attorneys, wondering how they all sleep at night. If you follow me on Facebook, you’re aware of my personal opinion of the verdict, complete with my middle finger raised in the air.
What breaks my heart is not the lack of perceived ”justice,” but the little girl who lost her life. The stories of chloroform & partying & imaginary nannies. The little girl who’s momma did not report her missing for an entire month. Casey Anthony, where the fuck were you?
This is a crazy, insane world we live in & we are charged as safe havens to the children we bring into this world. Casey Anthony, it was YOUR JOB to protect that little girl, to be her stronghold against abuse. It was YOUR JOB to hold that little girl’s heart & faith. May my little girl view me as someone who knows the answers, who catches her with sure arms when she takes her first leap into the pool, who rocks her to sleep after a hard day. May she always find comfort in both my arms & heart, knowing that with every fiber in my body, my purpose is to protect her.
I know there will come a day when Mia grows apart & takes on the world by herself. I hope that with enough love & lessons from her parents, she will be brave & strong. But not today, when she is so little that her legs still curl up in my lap, her button nose burried into my shoulder. Today, I will rock my little girl, holding her close. Reminding her that in this storm of life, Momma is her safe haven.
Cayley.
While Justice was not served for you, God will judge those that did this to you and that by far is the worse judgement they can receive. Rest In Peace!!
