\"The<\/a>

The Jet trails arriving in Colorado<\/p><\/div>\n

I woke up and remember lying in bed, lying and praying. I could not convince myself to get out of bed, but I was giving it my best try.\u00a0 Family and friends had arrived yesterday and more would surround us today.<\/p>\n

It had snowed last night and it was completely quiet and white outside.\u00a0 Steve had been given a task by detective Glassmire before he left yesterday, and he was already up and working at it.\u00a0 I listened to him type and sob, and type and sob. Then I would sob, and tell him to stop it.\u00a0 Then he would sob and apologize for it.\u00a0 I wondered if this is what our life has become, either way I was having great problems accepting it.<\/p>\n

Steve reminded me that Morgan\u2019s Godfather was coming in this morning and we would be off to the airport soon to meet him.\u00a0 He wanted to finish the request from detective Glassmire first.<\/p>\n

Like many other seemingly simple questions at the beginning became.\u00a0 This \u201csimple request\u201d would become greatly problematic.\u00a0 The Deputy Coroner wanted from Steve an email as to any medical type things that Morgan had that they should \u201clook for at autopsy\u201d, it was \u201canything no matter how minor\u201d.\u00a0 He didn\u2019t have to do it until Monday, but he wanted to just get it off as soon as he could.<\/p>\n

In reality Morgan\u2019s autopsy has already been completed and they are asking an artist for any medical opinions as to his daughters medical conditions which is, of course ridiculous, but it is what they do with the email. \u00a0Steve sends them what is the most unbelievable thing.\u00a0 My advice to anyone in this situation, direct the Coroner to your doctor and stay away.\u00a0 But not knowing any of this Steve types a short, one page email about things he worried about in Morgan\u2019s life. \u00a0I was trusting Steve with this email, like I was trusting the doctor who had our daughters body in his care.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Colorado<\/a>I was up and certain that if I pushed forward hard enough I would get through this.\u00a0 I wandered out from the room and arrivals from last night had the house in complete control.\u00a0 I had coffee and cried, because as bustling as the house was it was just a little too quiet.\u00a0 Flowers and cards lined the bar top and for a moment I wanted to gather them all up and deposit them in the garage.\u00a0 Instead I began to read them,\u00a0 Even on the first day there were so many squarely behind Morgan and us, and they promised to be forever.<\/p>\n

Steve came out and said he was done, leaving for the airport shortly and wanted me to go with him.\u00a0 I was voted down and stayed home while Steve went with our older daughter.\u00a0 It was a different world that day, hard to really explain to anyone just what it was like.\u00a0 So many thoughts, questions, unknowns, it would be days before my compass got even close to the right direction for me. \u00a0Our sister-in-law and our oldest daughter were answering the front door and receiving such wonderful gifts of food from our neighbors – they were all so sad and wanted to help.<\/p>\n

As more and more arrived it seemed at first like old times, the stories, the wonder, and the memories.\u00a0 But then it wasn\u2019t old times at all, it was new times, the horribly sad new times where family and old friends share death.<\/p>\n

Morgan\u2019s stalker was hardly mentioned at all when he should have been talked about copiously.\u00a0 He was still lurking in the shadows of this which he had wrought, and even though we knew his name well – it was not mentioned at all.\u00a0 Morgan was all that was on every mind there and she was the driving force for the unabated outpouring of love and wishes, and I think that is really how it should have been right then.\u00a0 There would be plenty of time for the stalker later, after all, it was still a mystery according to law enforcement.<\/p>\n

Morgan\u2019s bedroom door still had its piece of police crime scene tape on it and I called the detectives about it.\u00a0 At first we were told if we could leave it for two weeks that would be good, but now if we needed to go in we could. That day I did not, Steve wanted me to spend a day without thinking of her room and I did.\u00a0 With everything that was going on I had little time to wonder, what it would look like after an investigation, what it would feel like knowing she was gone.\u00a0 The kitchen had become the center of the world and for the next day I spent as much time right there as I could.<\/p>\n

There was so much love, so much friendship, so much hugging and remembering.\u00a0 Her friends came, our friends came.\u00a0 So many came to help us fill an impossible void in our life – that void is still ever so tender, but I will always remember the endless efforts to try and soften the blow amid the endless arrivals and departures of Morgan\u2019s dear sweet friends.<\/p>\n

A very close friend of mine bustled in after noon and dragged me to a quiet corner, her words registered, but not fully, and certainly not right away.\u00a0 She had just gotten off the phone with another of her friends and drove straight to our house to tell me herself.\u00a0 I thought I realized the importance, but until I told Steve I guess I had not.<\/p>\n

This friend of hers had listened to her voice message machine from someone on our street the day before.\u00a0 The message started about their business meeting needing to be cancelled for the day, and then very excitedly moved to the reason. \u00a0He said there was crime scene tape around his neighbors house, the girl living in the house was being stalked, and he had to stay because of the situation.\u00a0 But he knew who they thought the stalker was, and who he really was.<\/p>\n

Steve was wide eyed as I told him, Morgan was dead, but at least ending the stalkers unimpeded rein was a start.\u00a0 Detective Rob was contacted immediately.\u00a0 And for the moment we kept the recent revelation to ourselves.\u00a0 There were far more important tasks for Morgan.\u00a0 Her viewing, her cremation (I had to remember to ask the Detective if we should do that or not in this case), and then her memorial, that alone would consume the next few days.<\/p>\n

Steve had turned off all surveillance of the house after Morgan\u2019s death because, as he put it, there is no more Morgan so there will be no more stalker,\u00a0 But now he had a different feeling and turned it all back on.\u00a0 Our visitors all had there own theories of what had happened and how to get to the bottom of it.\u00a0 So in the middle of preparations for a memorial for my little angel there was also our own version of the first 48 hours taking place.<\/p>\n

Morgan was so very special and also so very loved, she would not be taken from us without answers.\u00a0 And we were still all patiently, silently, all awaiting answers.<\/p>\n

Further following up on Friday\u2019s post here is another link to a story on the two young boys who died, and shared the same pathologist as Morgan did.<\/p>\n

\u00a0More on the Jensen Boys\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

There are some statements from Dr. Kurtzman that ring from Morgan’s\u00a0investigation\u00a0and the\u00a0continual\u00a0assurances that any new evidence would be taken seriously that really troubles me. \u00a0The\u00a0shortcomings\u00a0of Morgan’s investigation, and the Pathologist being repeated would become very troublesome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
