The boys at the skate park<\/p><\/div>\n

In the very early hours of the day Morgan was startled awake by banging on her window.\u00a0 She was really tired and couldn\u2019t find her phone in the dark.\u00a0 She didn\u2019t want to get up and turn on the light because that excites her stalker and then she can count on \u201chis attention\u201d for a much longer time.<\/p>\n

She just lay in bed and waited.\u00a0 That wait, she guessed was after midnight, but really early.\u00a0 She drifted back to sleep until 5:00 am when a sharp loud bang woke her up again.\u00a0 Morgan told me at breakfast that she almost pressed her panic button, but didn\u2019t want to wake us.\u00a0 Steve reminded her for the umpteenth time, that if anything happens, let us know.\u00a0 Morgan promised she would.<\/p>\n

Ballet was this morning and that always had her smiling no matter what else was going on.\u00a0 After classes she grabbed her camera and went to the skateboard park to photograph the boys doing their tricks.<\/p>\n

Morgan loved to quietly master a new skill.\u00a0 Action photography was her latest\u00a0quest\u00a0and the skateboard park was a great setting for her.\u00a0 Close-ups, groups, fast, slow, all the different angles.\u00a0 She explained it all to me in great detail.\u00a0 It was an odd year in that snow would have usually closed the park a while ago but the ground was cold, but clear and good enough for a group of young men to be doing something they liked, and for Morgan to bundle up and photograph them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Just before 5:00 pm I called Morgan to say her father was cooking dinner.\u00a0 She got off the phone with me and called him to see if he wanted help.\u00a0 He told he had news and they would talk over dinner.<\/p>\n

At dinner we all discussed the move.\u00a0 Steve had committed to the new shop and there were two places for us a very short walk away.\u00a0 Then a few more that were within a block or so. \u00a0First big decision was before or after the holidays. \u00a0Steve and I were leaning toward sooner and Steve was asking Morgan if she would like to work in his office for a few hours each afternoon and Morgan was very excited about that.\u00a0 In the past his shops were always in places that became deserted around 4:00 pm and Morgan never felt safe so when she did help Steve with his work it was mostly at home.\u00a0 But now if she could walk with Wylah over to his office and have people around, she thought it would work out great.<\/p>\n

Morgan was going babysitting over the weekend and was going to need my car so we talked about that a little bit.\u00a0 She also had quite a few babysitting jobs lined up in December and she was wondering how to keep track. \u00a0I told her I would see if next year’s calendars would have this December in them, and if they did I would just get one for her.\u00a0 The detectives were coming tomorrow, so I reminded Morgan.<\/p>\n

\"\"Today it is November 23, 2012<\/strong> \u2013 I remember so vividly how the stalking had become something we wanted to ignore.\u00a0 It seemed like we were never going to stop him, although we would never admit it.\u00a0 And Steve and I talked a lot about how strange it had become.<\/p>\n

The term \u201clulled to sleep\u201d may sound completely out of place, but it was what happened to some extent.\u00a0 We had come to \u201cexpect\u201d certain things from the stalker.\u00a0 I hear it over and over again now.\u00a0 Invisible lines are created unintentionally, and your stalker does not cross them, this gives you a mistaken feeling of security.\u00a0 You want to feel safe in your world.\u00a0 I have heard stories over my life of people spending time in a part of town that was down on its luck, and car alarms, maybe cars racing around at all hours and even gunfire was not out of the ordinary \u2013 on a daily basis.\u00a0 And they stayed, and even got used to it somehow.<\/p>\n

As I approach a year since Morgan was killed I still am not sure how to advise someone on how to really stop their stalker.\u00a0 However: it is something that has become very important to me.\u00a0 Real solutions to stalking would mean so much to Steve and I.\u00a0 Not a better way to ignore the growing problem, as is far to often the case today \u2013 but a better way to stop it, to return lives to those who have had theirs taken from them.\u00a0 And a better way for justice to mean something more than a hollow promise.\u00a0 Morgan\u2019s rights were taken from her in so many ways, and they continue to be taken away by people that don’t know the facts of her case, but believe any lies that they hear on the Internet as the Gospel truth…how sad.<\/p>\n
