Ingrid Betancourt

I've been meaning to write about her in such a long time...she's been all over the news lately--- and all over my mind.

Some days her release seems possible, some others, it all seems hopeless. I can't even begin to imagine how her family, her friends and all the people who love her must feel. How they must ache.

And her!!! How long must everyday seem...how hard to find the will to keep going...how frustrating, how sad, how disappointing, how challenging not to lose your mind. The anger, the desperation, the hate...

It is so incredibly unfair for people to steal -literally steal- someone else's life like that. And it is not just her, and it is not just the FARC guerrilla...sadly, there are many, many more cases all over the world.

I hope, and pray, for her and everyone who is in a similar situation to recover their lives. SOON. Please...
