We left the mountains of tennesse heading into our stop for Tabitha Franklin in Alabama which experiencing another time change issue which we mis-calculated..we were late, I think in the eight years that may have happened just a few times, we were trying to get there as fast as we could. Driving in a large park with a lot of water and a peaceful setting that welcomes families from the area, it was nice. We were greeted before we could get out of the vehicle by several, with huges and well wishes, all ready to forgive our tardiness. See we really hoped the press would turn out to tell her story in a big and reach further out to someone who may know something more. Their were tons of supporters, children of all ages, a stage that many spoke from and sang from, beautiful balloons and every place you looked was a picture of Tabitha, they did an awesome job putting together her stop with fine tuning of every detail. Sadly all the press were on bigger things to report such as a nearby ball game, whatever, they all had excuses, I felt so horrible for this family, her children who beg for every little story that may list their mom; no they will cover maybe a search...we all know why, that would be in hopes something or someone is found then they got a story, but not a missing woman, her life, and all those who ache for her. It is not the fault of the press but those who tune in, people create ratings and sadly the missing sometime do not stack up on ratings and therefore are not covered. I sit amazed all the time in one case that will get hundreds of hours but then hundreds never heard of, hence why the tour travels each year to get the word out. You see I know the cries of these families left behind and see the suffering behind the scenes, they lay in wait for someone to help them, someone to tell their story.
