Mesquite Rally Stop

Woke up to a heavy fog set in the area and while driving to the rally stop for Lisa Stone. I could only think...this resembles a lot of her case, her friends were left in a fog along with all who knew and loved her. Rightly so, we worked our way through the fog to only find a lake plastered with lines roped from tree to tree housing hundreds of missing person cases not solved. I had to catch my breath, what a statement and to think those featured were only from Texas? Our nation of missing and murdered victims left to suffer the loss of a loved one grows in number each day, sadly it is the same folks affected by this crime that attempt to actively do something about it and walk the fight. I look at each face staring back at me on the posters, they are loved, needed, they all have a story - will the world ever hear each story of a missing individual? I have to wonder for a moment, even though I already know that answer and then a maddening fear for a moment rises up, and someone yells out, where's the tape...it breaks my current thoughts and I am once again okay and back on track. When I spoke to supporters there I am strong, I know theses stories and I share them, and the same fight and often. One good feeling I did experience while at this stop was the awesome and dedicated friends Lisa has...wow it tells me a lot about what kind of person she is for sure. I leave this stop not feeling badly because I know her troop is there for her and like me will never give up.
