Update

I just spoke with the detective. We are still waiting results from the Crime Lab, no surprises there! I remember during one of my 1st conversations with him, he told me to expect 7 to 8 months to get those results. Well, I was looking back over my notes and saw where the original detective told me last August he had sent the DNA to be compared; yes, that's almost 11 months!! I brought this to the Cold Case detective's attention. He assured me he would do some checking and make sure the report had not "been lost in a paper shuffle." He believes the murderer is still in Macon.

On a lighter note, my family and I just returned from a beach vacation. It was wonderful; we had a good time and made some great memories! From this horrible experience I have learned to enjoy life. No more waiting until the next raise or next promotion or another bill is paid off or the boys are older or in college . . . or . . . or . . . or . . . the list could go on and on.

On my mom's birthday my MawMaw was telling me she was now able to remember happy memories with and of my mom. I have tried so hard, but am not to that point yet. I will have a good memory only to have ideas of what her last moments were like or the hell we have experienced following her death come crashing in.
