Last night I received a message through this website & this is what it said:

Hello! I’m from Brazil. I heard about Morgan’s case right now through ID channel. 
I’m so sorry about her. She’s beatiful girl, smile and she have a amazing spirit. Yes, she Is, because she’s alive trough The strength of yours and justice must be done . you guys do not give up.
There must be someone out there who knows something else. Someone close to her. I’ll pray for you find out a evidence, a link , something. 

Saudades – Brazilian expression to say: I’m miss you, but something more than this.

Keep faith, you know her better than anyone. 

Peace.

Ps. I’m so sorry about my poor english. Patricia

I was very moved by this when I read it. I had never heard of this word before, but it seemed to touch on how I have felt for a very long time.

From the moment I knew Morgan was no longer with us I had this extremely strong feeling come over me…in fact I started to tell people what I was feeling that very morning.  My first thought, of course, was disbelief.  I wanted a reset button to make it all go away and turn the clock back to the day before – when Morgan was still alive.  I yearned to have her back and did not want to give in to the understanding that she was no longer with us.  Then my next feeling, a very strong feeling, as though I was receiving a message from someone, I “felt” that Morgan was okay and bathed in white light and love, that she is still there, I just could not see her. I “knew” I would see her again, I could “feel” that she was still on her journey, and she was going to still be around to help with what was going to come next.  I had no idea what that meant.  I could not even comprehend at that time what was going to happen. and then I “felt” that I had to remember everything, because there was meaning to what had just happened…it was going to change many lives and save many people. Maybe I was “seeing” Morgan’s legacy.

Saudades – It can, yes, be used for the feeling of missing a dear person who has passed away, but It is also a “bittersweet (…) yearning and hopefulness towards something over which one has no control” (same wikipedia article). In that sense, it’s also the hopeful yearning of someone (or something, a place for example) which you know you’ll see again but, can’t right now. by Helder Ribeiro, Native Brazilian Portuguese speaker.

Here are some more candles that have been lit for Morgan…and with every candle lit I am so grateful to everyone for sending such loving energy and prayers to Morgan.

Today, I am lighting a candle

“Light A Candle”

Light a candle,
see it glow,
watch it dance,
when you feel low,
think of me,
think of light,
I’ll always be here,
day or night,
a candle flickers,
out of sight,
but in your heart,
I still burn bright,
think not of sadness,
that I’m not near,
think of gladness,
and joyous cheer,
I have not left,
I am not gone,
I’m here to stay
my loved one,
so when you light a candle
and you see it glow
and you watch it dance
in your heart you’ll know
that I would never leave you
even when you feel so blue
I’m sitting up here with the Lord
and now watching over you  RIP Morgan

Candles lit by Steve & I for our sweet daughter Morgan.  The forever glass candle with the metal dragonfly was given to us by Steve’s sister – we keep it burning for Morgan so she will always see the light we are sending up to her.

These pictures were taken by Steve.  We love & miss Morgan every moment of every day & we want justice for Morgan…we will NEVER give up!

I am so sorry that I have had a lag in posting more of the candle pictures that have been sent to me.  Here is the start of the continuation of the photos of the candles that have been lit for Morgan.  They have burned brightly in her memory as well as in the hope and prayers from everyone around the globe with the intent that justice is attained.  And every single one of them has touched our family’s hearts.  Thank you!

For Morgan – from Steve, Carol, Sean & Scott

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Ingram,

I hope that you all find comfort in the support the blog has brought to you. I think of Morgan often. I’m a mother to two girls, 8 and 2 1/2, and two boys, 17 and 18. I was also stalked and beat by my ex-husband. I know that you would give anything to have your daughter back, but please know that the story you tell of her last year has brought awareness to so many about stalking and comfort to many that have endured it. Morgan was a lucky girl to have parents like you. It sounds like you gave her a wonderful life. I’m so sorry for what you’ve had to endure due to evils in this world.

Here are my candle light pictures in honor of Morgan. I lit two; one for Morgan and one for women across the world that have endured stalking and fear at the hands of another human being.

One candle lit for Morgan and all the stalking victims out there.
I am very sorry for you loss.

Kind regards,

Nina and Ellen in Sweden

Here is the lighted candle on our Advent wreath, this first day of Advent 2012. With a lovely little angel face added in memory of your precious Morgan. Marybeth

FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS!

Here’s a pic of the candle I am burning for Morgan & victims of stalking today. After seeing the Dr Phil show about Morgan I began reading your blog as I was left wanting more information. I felt Dr Phil made you to seem a bit of a biased mother. However when Brooke appeared and her first response to accusations was ” Where’s the proof?”. This raised a big red flag for me and after reading you blog daily I have found it obvious that Morgan was not responsible for her own death and did not die of natural causes. I am sorry that you & your family & everyone that loves Morgan have had to deal with such inaction and irresponsibility on the part of your local law enforcement. I hope the fresh eyes you have investigating Morgan’s stalking and death provide you some answers and justice. I just cannot believe that such a productive, beautiful, brilliant full of love and life young woman can be stalked and murdered and the sick scum responsible can still roam the streets looking for a new victim.

 

 

The first New Years Eve without Morgan was on December 31, 2011.  Our wonderful family came over with balloon lanterns/Chinese lanterns/sky lanterns, they have many different names, but they are all basically the same.  These lanterns soar into the dark sky when lit.

It was an evening like no other.  In the silence of the night we all took colored markers and wrote our own special messages on each lantern, lit the fuel source inside, and watched them float upwards into the night sky, on their way up to Heaven.

We all needed to talk to Morgan.  We all needed to send her our love.  This was such a special and meaningful way to release some of our pent up emotions.  It felt like a lifting of our spirits to watch our messages fly into the night sky…never seeing where they went.  Only to believe they made it to Morgan, and she could read what we wrote.  Last night marked 4 years ago since that night…we are still missing Morgan, but we have learned to speak to her with our thoughts.  We know she hears us and her love is endless.

2016 is now the year that we believe in magic.  The magic that comes when the basic truth and facts in Morgan’s case finally bring about justice for Morgan.  The grief we experience daily from losing Morgan due to a heartless killer(s) will never go away, but the pain that we have lived with for the last 4 years will be lessened when justice is finally realized.

My wish for 2016 is justice for Morgan!  Wishing you a blessed and healthy New Year!
