IF I HAD ONLY KNOWN

If I had only known

I’d never hear your voice again

You were the treasure in my hand

You were the one who always stood beside me

So unaware I foolishly believed

That you would always be there

But then there came a day

And I turned my head and you slipped away

A DAUGHTER’S QUEST  

In 1995 I made poster signs of my mom, stood out in front of the busy intersection, holding them in my hands, high up in the air, for three hot afternoons in a row.

In 2005, I joined the Citizens Against Homicide, a national support group based in California.  In March 2005, they published an article I wrote about my mom in their monthly newsletter.

In November 29, 2006, we held a candlelight vigil for my mother in Butte, Montana.  We wore T-shirts with Mom’s photograph with the words “Have You Forgotten?  We Haven’t.”

       Ever year for the past twenty-one years, I contact the police to make sure they do not forget, and to relay to police every possible rumor, whisper I have heard.  I will leave no stone unturned.

I will never let go!
