This picture was taken on one of our many trips from Colorado to California, and back again.  Driving through the desert in Utah was alway inspiring.  Looking at the rock formations was food for the imagination…imagining lost tribes of Indians, or gigantic dinosaurs roaming the massive red rock formations, with no limit to the possibilities, your mind’s eye can imagine so many different scenarios.  Whenever we were able to stop for a break from driving, Steve and Morgan loved to walk around and check out the sights…and of course pose for funny pictures.

I miss all our wonderful trips with Morgan talking to us from the back seat of the car.  We would talk, laugh, play music and sing.  Sometimes she would bring a friend along and it was so much fun.  We would stop at places like Charlie Browns in the desert before Los Angeles and check out all the old fashioned candy, giant emu eggs, and amazing memorabilia that seemed to be everywhere.  Every trip we made on vacation was an adventure and Morgan loved every moment of it as much as we did.  I am so glad that we able to spend so much time with Morgan.  From the very moment she was born we enjoyed her presence, and I would never have guessed in a million years that we would be graced with her here on earth for such a short amount of time.  I am extremely grateful that we were able to have such wonderful and lasting memories with her and that she chose us to be her parents.

Remembering Morgan is easy…we all do it every day.  But it is still hard to not be able to make new memories with her.  We smile and laugh about the fun times, and still hurt over the fact that she has missed, and will continue to miss, every sunrise and sunset, along with every family holiday, vacation, graduation, anniversary and wedding, and so many more moments that I know she loved.  Do I think she isn’t with us in spirit to celebrate these things?  No, I do believe she is still with us in spirit, but I don’t believe she should have been taken from this world against her will, taken from our family the way she was.  There is no place in this world where that is okay…it’s just not okay.  No one has the right to take another life.

The wrongs that were done to Morgan need to be righted.  There needs to be an investigation into her suspicious death, and indictments need to be made.  Turning a blind eye to the outrageous things that have happened to Morgan, before and after her death, will only insure that other families will continue to suffer as we have, and no sane person would ever want that.  This needs to end, and end now.

To date we still continue to be attacked as we press forward for justice for Morgan.  Those people that have been spreading lies, hiding behind their computer screens, in their own dark corners thinking no one will ever find out the truth – they need to realize many people already know the truth – the truth has always been there.  For the person(s) that did this to Morgan, as well as all those who continue to try to keep Morgan’s case from ever becoming a case, by threatening and bullying everyone that have attempted to help get justice for Morgan, I would like them to know that hiding in the shadows isn’t going to work anymore.  Staying anonymous while spreading lies and mistruths may work for awhile, but not forever.  The bright light of truth is still growing ever brighter every day and will not stop.

Remember this quote:

“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it–always.”
