Morgan sent me a text, “Where are you guys?” I texted back, “On our way home.” Right after Steve, and I returned home I texted Morgan, “Coming home soon?” I didn’t hear from her, so I texted her again, “Morgan PLEASE text me before you come home!” She mentioned to me that she didn’t think I needed to meet her in the driveway every single night that she came home. She thought that since she had pepper spray herself, she would be OK, but I insisted. Morgan texted me back, “Sorry! Yeah, I will.” I texted back, “Thanks.” Then she sent me a text, “I can’t find my keys!” I sent, “Where are you? Call me” Then she immediately sent me back a text that said “Found them!!!” Then I wrote, “Great are you coming home now? I’ll watch for you.” And Morgan wrote back, “Yeah” I wrote to her, “Ok I’ll watch for you, see you soon.” Then she texted me back, “Now” this meant she was already in the driveway, so I ran outside.
Here is a picture of Morgan’s puppy Wylah (she took it on August 21st last summer).
Today 8.21.2012 as I read back on my timeline, and our conversations via text messages (all those messages, that at the time seemed so urgent to me), thinking that if I could always keep in touch with her, to know where she was, that this would keep her safe, now I see that it was because I was so panicked that something bad would happen to her, and I wouldn’t be there to help her.
I realize now that we were very blessed to have such a caring daughter for the 20 years that she was on this earth. For her to put up with all the chaos that was going on around her was amazing. I used to get angry that she was trying to act so mellow about this whole thing, but now I know that was just her. She never wanted anything that was going on in her life to hurt anyone else, she was very sensitive to others feelings, and she just wanted to see beauty in everything.
Every day someone that has been following this blog has sent me a message that gives me hope and the strength to move forward…and I can’t thank you enough! I have heard so many stories from people that have been stalked or know someone who was stalked, or is being stalked now, and I have heard about a lot of horrific things. Peoples voices need to be heard…only in silence can this type of evil exist.
A common thread in all of the stories I’m hearing is the lack of response by law enforcement. To show up after the stalker is gone is not the right response, and will never yield a good result. And a complete lack of any advice about what to do that has worked in the past on other cases, or is working now. From my experience Stalkers can change up what they are doing in an instant. You change, they change. Our government, and law enforcement agencies need to ask questions as to whether their approach to the problem is yielding tangible results – they can’t keep turning a blind eye to what is going on. I sympathize so much with the stories I hear, because in our case we never had an answer that would stop Morgan’s stalker from just banging on her window whenever he wanted to terrorize her, as if that was some right of his.
And why can’t people that have information speak out? Am I missing something here? Are they afraid? Do they think by keeping it to themselves they are doing the right thing? Don’t they have feelings for the person that has been injured, because of this evil? Do they think their silence will really keep them safe – I don’t think it works like that. Either you do the right thing and speak up, or you are helping someone that is a sociopath, and really doesn’t care…least of all about you.
