My Wife's Niece is Missing!

 

Note: This was read at the candlelight vigil by a close, longtime family friend:

One of the most frustrating things about Amber’s disappearance is the helplessness that we all feel about wanting to help, so much, and not knowing what to do.

Well, I believe that there is a very simple answer to that very HUGE problem.

The answer is to pray for Amber and her family.

A lot.

They do not care if you pray in a Church, a Temple, a Mosque, a forest, or on a mountaintop. Or, in some of all the thousand ways that humans connect with their creator or their source. You don’t even have to call it prayer. They do not care if you believe in God, like Amber does, or how you spell the God you do believe in.

I believe that the positive energy and Love that you create and project will bring comfort to Amber and her family.

I have a quick story to tell.  My sister Kristin prays every day; she told me that she always includes a special prayer for our now 98-year-old Grandmother who lives in York, Pennsylvania.
She prays to God that Grandma Jean gets what she prays for. She always says, “Because she loves you God, so much”. Kristin never mentioned this to anyone before, but she told me because when she called Gram one day, Grandma thanked her for her prayers saying that she feels them all the time.

So, however you are comfortable praying, the way that any individual can help in a very real way is to take the time to visualize Amber back home with her family. Actually try to picture her in your mind, sitting comfortably in a chair at home, reading a book with her loving family around her.

You don’t have to know her well, or at all.  But if you do, you may want to picture her ignoring her unfolded laundry around her too.

Just take the time to think of Amber and smile, and you may find that it brings you some comfort as well.

Thanks Eric.  That means a lot. to the family and it is very encouraging about humans in general.  It is very interesting and comforting  to see that such a horrible situation as this can bring out the best in others.

 

To all of you, posters and lurkers to this thread,  thanks for your continued interest, support, good thoughts and prayers.  I understand Nancy Grace's show on CNN will have segments on Amber. I know last night and tonight's show for sure will have them. 

 

The more good thoughts directed her way is what is needed.  As the speaker at the vigil said this is something we can all do.  Picture her in your mind safely at home reading a book with her loving family surrounding her.

 

 

My prayers are with you and your family! I hope that God brings Amber safely back to her home.
