The Oklahoma Blue should be on their knees thanking the Lord today for a sentence worthy of note...yes, when you see people walking away with slaps on the wrists or less...for killing, raping and beating babies worldwide...you can claim a victory when a child lives...when 3 abusers get TIME....his "mother" was not even present and the state convicted her, lending her ten years to think on the innocence stolen...the female "sitter" who sold him is reported to have been sentenced to 20 years (which is more than our baby Conrad's killer mother received for taking his LIFE) and the devil charged with his rape is reportedly sentenced to 16 years. Not bad, Oklahoma...I KNOW we expect so much...we wish for life sentences...but take a step back and look at the horrific walk offs we see....Casey? Michele Aviles "father"? Devery Brooks? Right....so I charge YOU Blue Soldiers of Oklahoma to get up and dance a little today...know that any further judgement rests in the Lord's hand...we did our job....we made enough noise, we shouted, we prayed and yes....this IS a victory for not only Daniel but for the people who have given so much of their time and hearts to speak for a child in need. We do love you Daniel...and we are proud of you...brave little man....you will be stronger than they will ever know...

We don't choose our battles carefully...we don't sit still and wait for something to happen....sometimes we completely miss the mark and we cry for days when the sentence, the charge, the end...is not enough, not nearly enough.... we may wish that these demons sit in prison forever....but they wouldn't have in any case...weep no more tears for Daniel...his life is forever changed, his little body may be forever scarred in some way....but he made it. He...made....it. And his abusers are behind bars.... for a significant amount of time. Rejoice...thank our Father....pat yourself on the back just this one time, Bam, Rosa Bean, Vada bug....take a breath.... know that you helped change the tide for Daniel...and so many more....now get back on that horse and start firing on the enemy...I may not be there on FB with you....but I am never far from you in my heart... I still fight, I still listen, I still see...and I am proud today...
All my kisses, Daniel.... OOOOOORAH <3
