Forney and I went out to go and buy a Christmas tree. I mean a real live Christmas tree not a fake one or anything like that but a really live tree. I never actually had a real Christmas tree before. And I told Forney about my past Christmas experiences and my life and we had a few laughs and a few sad moments but besides that it was a fun time. But, after we had found our tree and loaded it up onto the truck and headed home, the worst thing imaginable happened.
As we came closer to Sister Husband’s trailer we saw red and blue lights flashing into front of her house. And my heart automatically dropped down into my gut. I rushed to the house passed the police and detective’s and ran until Thelma came outside and said that she doesn’t know-, I looked at her and she told me that Americus is gone. The detectives asked me how old she was and I said simply seven months old. Then I realized she was SEVEN months old! And at that single moment I felt as though my life had ended. I felt liking sobbing and falling to the ground and curling up into a ball. I didn’t want to hear those words ever again and I didn’t want to believe them.

We got a call from the police saying that they police have caught the people who have kidnapped your baby. And they told us where your child is. They said that the baby was at the Risen Life Church. So we rushed to the church and found baby Americus lying in the nativity scene. Americus cold and terrified had cried herself tearless. I grabbed her and held her tightly into her mother’s comforting warmth grasp. Americus was home again, safe and sound.
