On my website, I began writing about the Caylee Anthony case back in November of last year when I drove to Jay Blanchard Park. That was the day Leonard Padilla had a team of divers searching for Caylee in the Little Econlockhatchee River. I went to that location because I was in the vicinity and I wanted to take pictures of the action for a friend of mine. She was (and still is) obsessed by it (and with Nancy Grace) since the poor little girl became headline news. Subsequently, I wrote a lot more articles and it really expanded my readership. As a consequence, I've met some very delightful people, one of whom is Drama Queen. She wrote to me about a video and I thought it would be nice to share it with you. Here is the post I put up today on my website in its entirety:

Drama Queen found me because of the articles I've written about Caylee Anthony and the rest of what has and will transpire in this tragic case. She sent me an e-mail asking me to go to YouTube to watch a video she and her husband made about Caylee and all missing children. She wrote:

Hello Dave,

I am not bringing to you anything in the written word. I am bringing you a little video that my husband and I created entitled, “Caylee’s Rainbow.”

We felt that Caylee Marie Anthony is a sweet inspiration and guiding light to other missing and exploited children.

It was our attempt to do something, rather than nothing at all.

Please take a look and if you would like to post it on your site, please do. If one person notices one of these missing people or is inspired to do something on behalf of the many who go missing or are murdered each and every day, then this will have been worth the effort.

God bless you for all that you are doing on your website. You are an inspiration.

Drama Queen

She is a proud subscriber of The Caylee Daily and you can usually find her, Coreysmom and many others milling around there somewhere. Please take the time to view her wonderful video. If you are so inclined, leave her a comment here or at the Backroom of The Caylee Daily. I'm sure she'll appreciate your feedback.

Turn your sound on...

Many thanks to Drama Queen and her husband.

And hugs back to you, Drama Queen. Well, Bobby, too, except that I don't really hug men.

I think your video does (and will continue to) inspire others. You did a great job and you put a lot of effort, heart and soul into it.

Thank you for coming by to leave kind words. I wish you and Bobby the best.

I would like to give Dave a huge shout out and love Hugs for posting this video here on "Growing Bolder."

Me and my husband, Bobby, also would like to say thanks for all of the positive and uplifting comments.

We only pray that something wonderul happens as a result of this video production and that one of these missing will be found.

As I have explored this site it strikes that it is another great resource for many.

God's blessing on Dave, Marc, and all of the followers who frequent this site, Daves and the CayleeDaily.

Well, thank you, too, Terry, but credit really goes to Drama Queen and her husband for producing the video. I was just the messenger here on Growing Bolder and on my website, but I do have extra special compassion for little ones. You are right there.

Dave,
Thank you so much for this presentation. I haven't been this touched by anything for a long time. Your dedication to those little ones who are lost is so commendable. The video was heartbreaking and beautiful with "Over the Rainbow" sung so majestically by Jane Monheit, one of the most soulful singers of our time, IMHO. It makes one wonder how such madness could exist in our world. Thanks again.
Terry

Thank you very, very much, Marc. After reading your comment, I was at a loss for words for some time. But what you wrote explains who I am and who I will always be and I do not mean that to sound egotistical in any manner. We are placed on this earth to help ourselves and to be of service to others. We cannot help others without first recognizing ourselves and our potential as human beings to care. We all must care and that is why Drama Queen's video appeared here and on my website. If it inspires one person to go out and search for a missing child in any way, shape or form, then the messenger has done his job.If I am a messenger, then Growing Bolder is, too, because it is a perfect place to spread that word.

This post is not about me, it is about us all and what we can do to make a difference. I thank you, sir, for taking time out to write such fine and encouraging words, but more so, I thank you for Growing Bolder and the opportunities it not only allows, but encourages.

Now, if I could only find a way to embed that video instead of just linking it.

Dave, when you get right down to it, we're all just messengers and you, sir, are one of the best. There's so much stuff (garbage) flying around cyberspace that taking the time to share the best with our members is a great service. In addition to our exclusive GB content, we want to become an aggregator of other primo content through links, embeds, mentions, etc. Having members that care enough to take the time to do that is a great thing. Keep it up. You da man.
