Missing

Today is the day, three years ago that my baby sister went missing.

She went for a walk on a beautiful, hot, sunny, April day and didn't come back.

It was four weeks into a full scale missing persons investigation that her body was found.

Until this happened to our family we had no idea just how many missing people there are in this country - thousands!!!!!
Thousands of family and friends waiting everyday for news they are not sure they will want to hear.
Endless, sleepless nights filled with tears and fearful imaginings.

We found out at the inquest in the September of that year that today was the day that she died. Clare had most likely fallen into the river and the shock of hitting the water had killed her instantly. She was walking alone, we do not know where exactly as her body had been moved in the water to the secluded area where she was found.

My sister was a beautiful, loving, funny, sweet, maddening, crazy woman who knew how to love and was loved in return. She is greatly missed.

Love you always baby girl x
