JUST WHEN YOU QUESTION WHERE GOD IS ...
Since attending the CUE conference last year I have increased my prayer life. I met a woman there who took a necklace off her neck and gave it to me. Her daughter had given it to her. It says PUSH which she explained stands for Pray Until Something Happens. I took the necklace and decided to dedicate it to finding my mom and when I find her I will give her the necklace and explain how prayer led to our finding each other again!

RECOVERY FROM SEVERE TRAUMA FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A SURVIVOR ...
I know that this blog may be long but I wanted to share some of how it felt to recover from the severe trauma. I am hoping that putting it to words may help others understand how some survive the most horrible of conditions and then come out of it to survive and have a happy life one day!
In the beginning there is a lot of confusion when you mind tries to make sense with what has happened. The abductors are not stable individuals so the things they say to you do not help. Their words do not mak… Continue

Dorothy Holmes Brown said… - Thanks for caring!!!!!. And yes, the case you refer to, Stephen Damman has been mentioned to me. I spoke with someone from NCMEC several weeks ago, as well as Todd Matthews from NamUs when she was setting up for DNA samples from my sister and myself that was obtained today, 9/16/2009. Since this child, Stephen Damman, was the same age, same year and only about 100 miles apart from Grahamsville to Long Island, NY, I do have to wonder about that missing boy, and later (June,2009) the man who thought he was Stephen, John Barnes was in the news and TV ever so briefly. Our DNA may be used in that case. John Barnes is similar in coloring to our family. I had two brothers, William 69 and James 62 that died this summer only 10 days apart. So, both parents, three sisters and 2 brothers have passed not knowing where Freddie is. So wrong and so unfair. Just my sister and I left, that is why it was important to get the DNA today.
Another possible use for our DNA is the unnamed, unsolved death of a 4 year old boy, in Phila. PA. Four year old found in 1957 never identified. Caucasian, blonde hair,blue eyes. My brother was born in 1953 and in 1957 would have been 4 years of age. Pa is next to NY state. Grahamsville is about 40 or so miles from PA. Have to wonder. WHile I found out about the "Boy in theBox" in 1998, and tried to get someone to pay attention to me after multiple letters to no avail. I was treated less than. So I see in 10 years things have changed for the better. I get such kindness and ssistance these days. Blessings to all that care. While I cringe to think that the "Boy in the Box" is Freddie, because if it is than he was beaten to death, and is not living. If he is living, someone may have wanted a beautiful baby boy and at least have been kind to him...however, even if they were kind to him, he is still ours. However, there is still an unnamed 4 year old resting in a grave without a name. How deplorable...Such mean people in our world. Why, Why, Why?
Mostly I try to think about all the really nice folks I know, but sometimes I do go to that dark place, human behavior, I believe....

- Thank you for your interest. I have been here a short time and trying to learn how things work here. My heart hurts for all the pain so many folks have to endure. I truly know the pain that families feel,lasting for so many years. But, I never want to give up hope. It is now 54 years and I still hope. It certainly is possible that he could still be with us after all this time.
