If You Don't Have Anything Nice To Say...

1 Peter 4:15- But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.

For almost two years, we have tried to take the high road and not address those that would like nothing more than to see Amber and Louise hurting over Rachel's disappearance. We will still strive to accomplish that lofty goal. Obviously, we cannot say what is on our minds while others go around blithely stating whatever they want. That is the difference between having class and not, I suppose.

Just in case anyone is wondering and feels the need to make up new gossip. Amber moved to Georgia to live with her father and his girlfriend in Tracye's hometown. To get away from all of the gossip- so summon up whatever class or dignity you have, and quit making up stories about the situation. Or I won't make thinly veiled references to you on a blog, I will outright name everyone who has done something mean to Amber or Louise since March 13, 2008.

Malachi 3:5: And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.

Jeremiah 7:9-10- Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not; And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?

I have been a part if this family for over 5 years, I would like to first say that Amber and Louise have been incredibly strong through this time. I could not imagine how I feel if I was in either of their shoes, a mother who has lost their child or a child who has lost their mother. Not to mention the extent of what was going on before Rachel's disappearance. It is truly saddening to see such animosity toward two people who have done absolutely nothing but try to find a woman who is so important in their lives. For 3 years, I have watched Amber ache over not only the loss of her mother but the horrible things being said about her and why this happened. My question to those who do such things out of spite is "Why?". Do you have nothing better to do as grown adults? Do you know you are hurting a 15 year old girl? More importantly I would like to state that you are not the one's who have to sit back and watch a child cry, wondering what you could possibly do to make them feel better. Simple phrases like, "Everything will be ok, they are just mean people." are not working for her anymore. Have some tact, know what you should and shouldn't say to others ESPECIALLY your own children who bring this gossip into school.

So, onto Rachel. I am willing to bet each and every person who is speaking rubbish about her, that you have never actually tried to get to know who she really was. As a person, and a mother, and a friend. Shame on you for never knowing who she was to those who love her. Your selfishness caused you to miss out on an intelligent, and amazing human being with so much more class than the people hating on her could ever posses.

Lori, thank you for writing this blog post.

To those who are still fighting with all of us to find answers about Rachel's disappearance, from the bottom of my heart I thank each and every one of you.

What people fail to understand is that in their constant unwavering faithfulness in the sincere intentions of SOME people, they do not know of the shabby treatment that Amber and Louise endure. Then again what can you expect from people like that? It sure makes it look like they don't want Rachel to be found, which seems very suspicious to me.
