Natalee Missing 54 Months
30 May 2005 - 30 Nov 2009
At 1:30 am tomorrow another month will come to an end and after 54 months (1,646 days) we still do not know where Natalee may be.
We have been through times when we thought the answers would be brought forth and we were so disappointed when nothing came to fruition. We know that there are truths to be revealed because someone knows the truth and we know that Natalee is out there somewhere waiting to be found and returned home.
We must continue to make those who may not be aware that Natalee is still missing - we must keep her name out there for all to remember - we must keep her image in the minds of all. We can never let her be forgotten. This is not over and will never be until Natalee is found and returned home with the dignity and grace that she and her families so deserve.
Please set aside a few moments from your busy day and sit quietly to reflect just why we have been and will continue to be here for Natalee and her families and say a special prayer for them. And, if you are so inclined, please offer your thoughts and words of support for Natalee and her family members and friends.
Remember also that the Christmas Season is beginning and this time will be difficult for Natalee's families. This will be the fifth year that Natalee will not physically be home for Christmas. But, she will be there in spirit and in the heart for all hearts come home for Christmas.
Natalee, no one knows just where you are
Whether you might be near or far
But one thing is so very true
And that is so many love and miss you
The time just slowly keeps going by
We see those who love you hurt and cry
And each and every day they pray
And hope that it just might be the day
We have watched seasons come and seasons go
And yet we still do not know
What really happened on that fateful day
Back in 2005 in the month of May
The road we have traveled together has been long
And many times the way we were led was wrong
But we remain steadfast in our way
And nothing said or done will make us sway
Natalee, you are why we have come here
It is you that we hold so very dear
We have hope, we have faith, and we pray
That you will be returned home one day
Our mission here has no bound
Because as yet you have not been found
We will continue until we find you, Natalee
And return you to your loving family
