Its been 3 days........
Its been 3 days since my parents left. I don't understand how time can fly by, but yet be so long.
As you all can imagine its been a crazy couple days.
Many thanks to the friends "family" who are helping me get through this. I barely have time for myself. I have a billion things going through my head, but I still must decide my future. Still there is so much uncertainty that I don't even know where to begin. I know that all things happen for a reason, although this time I can't understand it. It's funny because something so personal has turned into something so public.
As I sit here writing people are helping me pack up my house. The surprising part of all of this is that I'm numb. I think I finally realize the meaning of the saying "You don't know what you have until you lost it". It feels like I lost my family even though they are only a phone call away.
It's amazing how much support we've had through all of this. We've been so amazingly blessed. Even strangers have taken up this cause in Costa Rica and the United States.
I could never thank all of you, but know you are in my prayers and I ask God to bless each and every one of you. We will continue to work to keep this from happening to others. The fight has just begun!
Many blessings. Marie Gonzalez

Hi, Marie - I just heard about your story through the organization Teaching Tolerance. I'm a school counselor in St. Louis. Thank you for sharing your story so willingly with others. There is no doubt that God is using this painful, tumultous experience to prepare you for things you only dimly see now - but will know more as your continue to step courageously into the future. This is the "refiner's fire" - making you inwardly more strong and beautiful. "All shall be well"
hey Marie
hope ur holding up alright "on your own". but i read some comments following up on whats goin on with your situation and i would like to add and agree that God has a big plan for what is about to come to you and your family. just know and feel that you are under the protection of our good Lord and he'll guide you to where he wants you to go.
