Natalee Missing 60 Months (5 years)
30 May 2005 - 30 May 2010
 
Today, May 30, 2010, makes 1,827 days - 60 months - 5 years - since Natalee disappeared in Aruba.
 
Some question why we are still here after all this time. It is because we all understand and embrace the value and importance of life and thus have given our time in an attempt to bring resolution to a family that has for all this time only wanted one thing - to have their precious and much loved daughter returned home.
 
Natalee has made the word 'life' something to cherish and never take for granted. She has shown us that all life is precious, all life has meaning, and all life demands dignity and respect. She has, through her families, shown us what unending, unconditional, true love means. She has shown us that you can reach for higher goals, that you can be better than you were before, and that you can make a difference.
 
Do something special on this May 30th in honor of Natalee. Do not memorialize her, but rather pay tribute to her. Let people know that you still have hope and that you want them to have hope too - that she is important - that her life has meaning - that you care.
 
We hold true to the belief that everything happens for a reason. That is why we continue to be here season after season. We can not dwell on the past or the things that may have been done, but rather direct our thoughts and our focus on the days to come. There is no returning to yesterday and we do not know what tomorrow will bring, so we must make each day that comes a day of hope and promise for Natalee and her family. Sorrow looks back, worry looks around, but faith looks up!
