Maybe some closure.

When I was in high school, a classmate vanished without a trace one day. There were multiple searches for her to no avail. It has been 11 years now and there is still no trace of her. Her mother always said that after so long she knew she was dead and she just wanted her to be found so she could have closure.

Well, last week in my hometown the skeletal remains of a teenage girl were discovered. It has been estimated that death was about 10 years ago and murder has been confirmed.  As much as I would hate to know that my classmate had been murdered, I'm kind of hoping this is her so her family can have the closure they need and her killer(s) can be brought to justice. Is that bad of me?

I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. 1Samuel 1:27 Image and video hosting by TinyPic Lilypie Third Birthday tickers Lilypie First Birthday tickers Team Peeta Tag Pictures, Images and Photos

    I don't think that's bad of you - you're wishing closure for the family.  I hope the girl's mother gets the closure she needs from this, if it turns out to be her.

    I don't think it's bad.  I can't imagine not knowing what, when, how happened, you know?  I hope it gives her mom and her family some peace.

    Agreed. What a sad situation.

    Thank you so much, ladies. I've been feeling guilty all week for secretly hoping it's her.

    Ditto this.  I think it would be better to know what happened than to never know for sure.

    No, everyone deserves closure and an explanation for what happened to their missing loved one. You are not bad for thinking this; you are sweet for wishing them some peace in their lives. It's something they haven't had for a very long time.

    This.  IMO never knowing and having gnaw away at you is much worse than actually finding out.  Now they can grieve and accept what happened.  I pray that they find peace and closure.

    I actually think that's thoughtful of you...to want closure and answers for that poor family.  And so that poor girl can finally have the "rest" that she deserves.

    That's not bad of you at all. 

    It is hard to let go sometimes when you don' t have an explanation of what happened.  I struggle with that sometimes b/c SIDS is just what they decide on when they can't tell exactly why a healthy baby just stopped breathing.

    I hope the findings are able to give her family some degree of closure and peace.
