ORLANDO, Fla. -- It has been two years since Caylee Anthony disappeared.

Tueday marks the day that Caylee's family members reported last seeing the toddler in 2008.

Caylee's disappearance was not reported to police until nearly a month later.

The child's body was discovered five months later near the Anthony home.

Her mother, Casey Anthony, is awaiting trial for her murder.

Anthony maintains that a nanny by the name of Zenaida Gonzalez kidnapped Caylee.

2 years ago: Caylee’s last full day

Posted on June 15th, 2010 by Valhall

Two years ago today Caylee had a wonderful day with her grandma Cindy. They loaded up and drove to Mt. Dora to see her great-grandma Shirley and her great-grandpa Alex. It was a special day – Father’s Day. Caylee went with her grandma Cindy to the nursing home where she sang songs, “read” her favorite book, and colored – and inadvertently, through her adorable personality, her cuddling hugs and her precious songs, gave both her great-grandpa and her grandma smiles and laugh. It is the gift of a toddler. The smallest things can bring smiles to our faces, laughter in our hearts.

Later in the day she would return to her great-grandma Shirley’s house where she would eat chili, play with g-grandma’s cat, and probably cause some toddler mischief before leaving for her home in Orlando where her Jo Jo, her Tilly and her Tinker were waiting for her.

We really don’t know what happened past that point. But it is assumed this is the last full day of Caylee’s life. At some point in the next 24 hours her brief life came to an end.

For today, let’s remember Caylee as she was – and as she could have been. Let’s remember the light that DID shine for those less than 3 years. I have chosen this particular youtube video because it contains Caylee’s sweet voice singing her favorite song on that last full day of her life, and because the lullabies included are those Caylee deserved to hear for many nights to come. They are the comforting lullabies that all children should be able to fall asleep to knowing that the assurances contained in them are absolutely true – a certainty. It is the violation of that certainty that makes the injustice to Caylee touch our hearts.

It's hard to believe it's been two years since the world lost this angel. It's even harder to believe George and Cindy aren't angry that this precious little girl was ripped out of their lives.

It's been a long journey and I've met many wonderful people because of our common goal of seeing justice served for Caylee. Caylee, I will never forget you are the reason that all of us at RC came together.

The world is on your side and we won't rest until justice is served.

Two years of disbelief watching a cold hearted mother of a beautiful child lie and show no remorse for the death of her child. A baby that was murdered and thrown in a swamp like a bag of garbage. Grandparents that claim how much they loved their grandchild yet they continue the cover up of the person solely responsible for her death. They should be hanging their heads in shame for the injustice they have inflicted upon their deceased granddaughter.

Maybe one day George and Cindy will realize how very wrong their behavior has been and in their prayers may they beg Caylee for forgiveness.

Caylee Marie Angelbabe ~ you were our sunshine - your bright light now mingles with the sun, the moon and the stars. We will never forget your sweetness, your innocence, and your big beautiful eyes that reached out to us. Yes, we all will see that justice is obtained for you.

2 years ago: Caylee’s death day

Posted on June 16th, 2010 by Valhall

Today is not a day of celebration. This is the day Caylee Marie Anthony, age 2, was murdered. I would like to start this post with my favorite poem. I found this poem while I was pregnant with my daughter, and I have loved it ever since. It epitomizes how we should feel about the rarest and most precious blessing one can be given…a child.

Baby

by George Macdonald

Where did you come from, baby dear?
Out of the everywhere into the here.

Where did you get those eyes so blue?
Out of the sky as I came through.

What makes the light in them sparkle and spin?
Some of the starry spikes left within.

Where did you get that little tear?
I found it waiting when I got here.

What makes your forehead so smooth and high?
A soft hand stroked it as I went by.

What makes your cheek like a warm white rose?
I saw something better than any one knows.

Whence that three-cornered smile of bliss?
Three angels gave me at once a kiss.

Where did you get this pearly ear?
God spoke, and it came out to hear.

Where did you get those arms and hands?
Love made itself into bonds and bands.

Feet, whence did you come, you darling things?
From the same box as the cherubs’ wings.

How did they all just come to be you?
God thought about me, and so I grew.

But how did you come to us, you dear?
God thought about you, and so I am here.

This is the way every parent should view their child. As a wonder and an incomprehensible blessing. One that we can’t even imagine how the love and joy got wrapped into such a special package…and then delivered, to of all people, us!

This is Caylee Marie Anthony.



She was born August 9, 2005. She was murdered June 16, 2008. But this is not the day to memorialize Caylee. This is the day we should memorialize what her murder represents. Because of the disgusting postmortem behavior of her family, which inevitably led to the high-profile coverage of Caylee’s murder, her case has brought countless caring souls together from all walks of life and vastly distant locations.

While there are subtle signs that Caylee may have been abused, or at least neglected in certain manners prior to her death, it should be pointed out that the ultimate form of child abuse is the murder of a child. The “horror” of the abuse may be increased by the evidence of abuse or all out torture over extended periods of time, but the ultimate abuse is the murder of a child. There is nothing else you can take from a person once you have taken their life. This article is intended to use this date to bring home the topic of filicide and child abuse.

Caylee is no longer alone, or abused. Caylee has playmates now. She is a member of a host of angels…angels who had angelic faces long before their forced transformation and ascension. On this day, let’s remember those who were waiting for Caylee when she was released from the hell an unwanted child endures on Earth. All of the following pictures are children the world has lost to child abuse. They, like Caylee, were stolen from the world at an age so young we will never know what their love and light could have brought to better our society simply by their existence.

Snaz~ I just about can't stand it. I have one granddaughter about Caylee's age. When I spend time with her I think "how could anyone do anything to harm a baby?" (because baby she was). It just makes me sick, honestly. All that trust, the total dependency, and that unconditional love that a baby that age has for his/her mother........ it makes the blood in my viens turn cold just to think about it. kh
