She took this picture, while in Hawaii and texted it to Steve and I, just another reminder of Morgan\u2019s warmth and love, and we were so happy to know that Morgan was thinking of us. She called a little later to say she wished we could be there with her. I still remember that call. I can even hear her voice as if it was only hours ago, while at the same time, it may just as well have been another lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>Morgan was in Hawaii visiting her Godfather and his wife, seeing the sights, catching up on life, and she was absolutely beaming. Steve called it Morgie&#8217;s big adventure as he called her trip just before that, and the one just before that. The early summer 2011 had become a collection of big adventures for Morgie. Two trips of travel mixed with working for her, and this one just for fun. It took a lot of hard work and dedication, but Morgan had recovered enough to travel. She had completely rebuilt her health and between her older sister and her Godfather the 19 year old young woman was busy traveling on her own.<\/p>\n<p>She was formulating plans for herself too, by then she was dreaming of, and determined to go to Stanford law school, after finishing a degree in English at CU Boulder, but before that she was after a certification as a yoga instructor so she could work at something she loved while going to school and have a fall back, just in case. The sky up there was the limit, Morgan had her whole life before her.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6416\" style=\"width: 594px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/morgansstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Morgan-retouched.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6416\" data-attachment-id=\"6416\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/morgansstalking.com\/?attachment_id=6416\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/morgansstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Morgan-retouched.jpg?fit=3264%2C2448&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"3264,2448\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 6&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1449074507&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.15&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;32&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0031645569620253&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Morgan We Miss You\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Missing Morgan&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/morgansstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Morgan-retouched.jpg?fit=584%2C438&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-large wp-image-6416\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/morgansstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Morgan-retouched.jpg?resize=584%2C438&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Missing Morgan\" width=\"584\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/morgansstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Morgan-retouched.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/morgansstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Morgan-retouched.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/morgansstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Morgan-retouched.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/morgansstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Morgan-retouched.jpg?w=1168&amp;ssl=1 1168w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/morgansstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Morgan-retouched.jpg?w=1752&amp;ssl=1 1752w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6416\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Missing Morgan<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Four years and six months later we would scratch letters in the sand and tell her we missed her.

We could only look up to the heavens and say these things out loud feeling like the little angel had heard us and have the overwhelming feeling yet again that it just wasn&#8217;t fair. When Morgan scratched her letters in the sand she would see us in less than a week. Her face would light up and she would come running into the terminal when she saw us letting out her typical Morgan squeal of happiness and adding a big tight hug along with it. Our letters scratched in the sand brought nothing close to that feeling.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6417\" style=\"width: 594px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/morgansstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Anniv-beach-Love-you-Morgan-.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6417\" data-attachment-id=\"6417\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/morgansstalking.com\/?attachment_id=6417\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/morgansstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Anniv-beach-Love-you-Morgan-.jpg?fit=2448%2C2448&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2448,2448\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 6&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1449076264&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.15&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;320&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.066666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"We Love You Morgan\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Love You Morgan&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/morgansstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Anniv-beach-Love-you-Morgan-.jpg?fit=584%2C584&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-large wp-image-6417\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/morgansstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Anniv-beach-Love-you-Morgan-.jpg?resize=584%2C584&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Love You Morgan\" width=\"584\" height=\"584\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/morgansstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Anniv-beach-Love-you-Morgan-.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/morgansstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Anniv-beach-Love-you-Morgan-.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/morgansstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Anniv-beach-Love-you-Morgan-.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/morgansstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Anniv-beach-Love-you-Morgan-.jpg?w=1168&amp;ssl=1 1168w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/morgansstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Anniv-beach-Love-you-Morgan-.jpg?w=1752&amp;ssl=1 1752w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6417\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Love You Morgan<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">20 candles for Morgan&#8217;s twenty years of life. \u00a0Her 20th year had only just begun, and the 20th candle we lit did not stay lit as long as the other candles &#8211; as you can see in the picture above.<\/p>\n<p>Dear family and friends were with us to tell Morgan they missed her too on this fourth anniversary of her death, her murder.
